I think the updated ridership from the recent powerpoint released is at 12, 000 ppdp if I'm not mistaken.
You're right, I just looked those up. 12,000 is much closer to subway numbers, and wouldn't have to increase that much to be at a capacity that requires a full subway.
Of course, most of that increase comes from merging the RT with the Eglinton line, and the case for that merger is that an LRT can reuse some of the RT infrastructure and alignment. If we're upgrading things to subway, then it makes more sense to go back to the original plan of merging the RT with the Bloor line. If we do that, then all of a sudden the Eglinton Line is back at clear LRT ridership levels. It's a bit of a Catch-22
