The protest was quite nice, too, though the alternative media coverage was spotty to say the least. But the biggest protest was the protest of, to use that word, the masses. They voted with their feet. Turns out only 70.000 people came - optimistic estimate from the government, since there were hardly enough people to stand more than a single row thick along the carriage's course.
