Ridership pattern has changed because of the addition of this new line.
Take me as an example. I seldem went to Richmond because it would take more than 1 hour by bus. Since the line opened on Tuesday, I have already travelled to Richmond 3 times as a true pessenger. This new line has allow me to go to malls to shop and places to eat in Richmond so much easier and quicker.
Increased transportation network connectivity can generate additional ridership demand.

I saw quite a few pessengers with luggages stood near the train door, slowed down pessengers getting in/out the train. The luggage also become an obstacle on the narrow platform.
