I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but it has certainly gone up in the past 10 years since the first light rail line opened. Most of the people riding the train today were not riding the bus before light and commuter rail were added. Most of the people I know that are riding the new Frontrunner train (Including myself) were driving to work before it opened a few months ago.

what transportation agency (with only 2 lines of lrt in service) can afford to construct three lines at once? this sounds too good to be true

Yes; by the end of the year, there will be 4 lines under construction, and 5 new lines should be finished by 2015, as part of UTA's Frontlines 2015 project:
