The Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear took place on October 30, 2010 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., led by Jon Stewart and an in-character Stephen Colbert. The vast majority of attendees understood the point of the Rally was to illustrate that the moderates are the true silent majority and poke fun at the radicalization of politics. It is estimated that the rally drew about 250,000 people, but there were hundreds of thousands more who were there in spirit via live stream, according to a release from Comedy Central. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which maintained its normal Saturday service schedule, announced that Metrorail ridership set a Saturday record of 825,437 trips, as compared to about 350,000 on a normal Saturday.
