When the Metro Red Line finally opened two additional stations in the Valley 10 years ago, increases in ridership began to swell. In 2000, the average daily boardings were 83,230. In 2009, it grew to 146,723 boardings. In nearly the same time period, the average traffic increase on L.A. Freeways has grown 10 to 15%, but on the 101 Freeway over the Cahuenga Pass, the average increase has been just 2%.
