Screw ridership, I just want a ton right at launch!! Doesn't show selfishness at all.
According to the data on Calgary Transit's website, the South branch of the red line has a average weekday ridership of 110,300 while the North branch of the blue line draws 64,000. As this is just over half, the red line should have a ratio of 2:1.

However, as Ozy said the wait was 15 minutes and the peak-frequency on the blue line is 4-7 minutes I'm going to assume there was a delay at that time yesterday.
