Yeah it wasn't so much about the Tuscany frequency as the 69 St infrequency, as its a sad comparable of how far off 69 is. 3min in the heart of rush hr is about what it should be for most of Calgary. I'm not saying I expect 69 to be the same, it's a new line so I'm sure it does have the least amount of riders. I'd just like to see it at around 5min during rush hr.

Been taking that train for close to 2 years, there's been a pretty dramatic increase in riders in that time. Especially this past September, it feels like an extra 15K+ moved to the area seemingly overnight by looking at the AM train. I went from easily getting a seat with room to spare every time to now standing most of the time. Yet it feels like there's been no increase whatsoever in train frequency in that time. I think it's probably due for a reevaluation.
