It is even harder if you only provide peak hour service because it teaches people from an early age that public transit is crappy, as opposed to non-existent.
This is what happened for the last 60 years, and as soon as the trend was reversed with frequent and reliable service ridership increased on every single newly improved route.
The peak hour service on suburban neighbourhoods is a proven failure. The iXpress model is a proven success. Where's the controversy?
