You're better off finding out what the real reason is than assuming it's because people don't want to go downtown. Is downtown Buffalo a depressed area? Is it gentrifying? Do the type of people who are more likely to ride Amtrak live in the suburbs more-so than downtown? And you're definitely better off not assuming that people will never want to go downtown. Millennials for the most part are urban-centric and are leading the resurgence of the city center all over the country. So if the future Amtrak demographic is moving downtown, then expect Exchange St ridership to change. |
