Charlie Martin:

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority would have tallies of how many people exited their stations on the Mall, as well as how many people entered the computer database-linked turnstiles.

They are pretty adept at making these numbers available when it’s Appropriations season, too.

This would give us a very accurate count of the total set of people who traveled, using the Metro, to and from the Mall area during the time period in question.
