I'd be willing to put money on this. I can immediately see that my commute is now going to be longer. Especially coming home when everyone leaves at 5 and we have to crowd the platforms with the Crowfoot line.

Prove me wrong.

Yes, you're daily commute on one bus is clearly enough information to determine that an entire leg of the LRT will have capacitly issues.

If only the guys who designed this thing had access to that level of information, perhaps this crippling reduction in transit capacity would have been spotted before they decided to build the thing.

Seriously dude, do you honestly think the people who come up with transit plans aren't capbable of looking at ridership numbers of the busses you're talking about and then checking to see if the train capacity can match that? Or do you think they just looked at the numbers, saw that it would be the horrific reduction in capacity that you seem to think it is, and just said "Eh, good enough".
