There would be a real increase in ridership beyond the bus passengers, becausea) additional routes might feed even more passengers to the line b) Local neighborhood riders who currently do not use the subway would start using it c) Developers would redevelop some properties to higher density, and some of this would get built as the subway nears completion. You could easily have 1,000 more housing units of various types set up in time for the train's debut, and 2,000 more a few years after that. |
