Total Rail - 362,056 - Dec 2012 (for comparison sake, Dec 2011 was 294,082 and Dec 2010 was 270,199)
With the Expo Line Phase 2, Gold Line Foothill Extension, Crenshaw Line, Downtown Connector all under construction, i expect LA to break the 500,000 barrier by 2016

The Exposition Phase 2 Extension and the Foothill Extension to Azusa should open in late 2015 or sometime in 2016. Crenshaw is a bit later than 2016 - probably late 2018 or some time in 2019. Regional Connector follows. All other light-rail projects are much later per teh LRTP; however, could be accelerated to if LACMTA can secure funding sooner. See the 30-10 Initiative or America Fast Forward.
That said, I'd suspect 2016 ridership to be in the mid 400,000 range.
