As of Saturday afternoon, many reported still being en route to the march or disconnected from the crowd due to the large number of demonstrators that gathered at the National Mall.

During Gloria Steinem’s speech at the event Saturday, she claimed that Saturday’s march yielded “1,000 more buses than the inauguration.”
