With a ridership on the West LRT of 30000 per day, that's not going to change a traffic map with those bands. Not all those people were driving.
Here's where I got the city's traffic maps from. They scale by the 1000s, which is helpful: https://www.calgary.ca/Transportatio...flow-maps.aspx

And I totally agree that many of those people were driving. As I recall, one of the big controversies about the opening of the west LRT was how many bus routes got axed since they wanted to direct those people to the trains.
