well, a big part of that is due to the fact that it's a very silly rapid transit line to begin with.

extend it up to old orchard, then build some in-fill stops at ridge, dodge, & crawford and watch ridership climb as it becomes a full-fledged train line that actually goes somewhere and serves a handful of different neighborhoods.

not that i expect any of that to ever happen.
