Heh, even if those rosy ridership numbers were met, its curious that they didn't include the cost if debt servicing in that projection of when this would be paid off. In their defence, I doubt they would have predicted in 2003 that Stelmach and the global economic meltdown would run the province's surpluses into the ground. Likewise, they also predicted 40 cents per litre on fuel. Hard to mock that too much without knowing exactly what type of fuel they are using.
Alas, 10 years later, given inflation, deficit spending and massive fuel cost increases, that study is actually of very little value to today's situation.
