Metrolink updated maps w/A Line, D Line Metro extensions

Metrolink recently updated the maps on their website. They definitely need to emphasize the connections—especially since Metrolink only had ONE rail connection with Metro before the Pomona extension.
I've heard that the Pomona Metro station is showing signs of (passenger) life; anyone notice if the Metrolink station is getting a boost from Metro transfers?
