With attendance projections now around 500,000, people are gathering in huge numbers for the Women's March on Washington.

According to the Washington Post, packed Metro stations and hour long waits to board trains -- you know, the kind of stuff that would generally make commuters behave like their worst selves -- are not fazing marchers.

Instead, everyone is cheering.

And crowds across the city -- even those far from the starting point -- are only getting more enormous. In fact, some trains are so packed that no one can board when they reach the next station.

Stuck waiting to march? Fun game: count the pussy hats.
