I'm not sure what to think of this article, but did you read the whole thing? Underneath the "150,000" number (which is the TOTAL EXITS FOR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM ON SUNDAY, and don't forget that each person trips two "exits" in a typical r/t) there's these two paragraphs:
| Asked later in the week for specific numbers, BART spokesman
| Mike Healy said that during the entire day Sunday -- from about
| 8 a.m. to midnight -- 66,254 people had exited the gates at
| the Embarcadero, Montgomery Street, Powell Street and
| Civic Center stations.
|
| By comparison, 23,406 people had exited those same gates the
| previous Sunday, Feb. 9, a difference of about 43,000 riders,
| he said. Not all riders attended the march and not all marchers
| rode BART.
I know that 5" doesn't equal 8", but neither does 43,000 equal 150,000 ...
