cleveland reporting in.
well not really rta had no Q3 weekday info,
these are older ballpark numbers just for fun:

heavy rail: 26,500
light rail: 12,400
healthline brt: 14,367
^no, not rail but anyway


according to this jan 2013 blurb, ridership took quite a jump up from 2011-12:

RTA ridership overall rose from 46.2 million in 2011 to 48.2 million rides last year. Ridership on the system's Red Line rapid transit trains, which runs from East Cleveland to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, recorded the biggest jump in ridership at 9.3 percent, or about 500,000 more rides.

^of course, this is the manhattan 2nd ave bus, so when the 2nd ave subway is finished...dont hold your breadth lol...but eventually those numbers will drop off quite a bit as sections of that subway open.
