Well sounds like folks have proved ridership overall was up when LRT started and in the first year (for GRT as a whole?) That's good if true.
That being said, I've said it before, I'll say it again - the city needs to make it easier to get aboard the LRT from some of the more suburban, And yet relatively dense areas, if the city, seamlessly and without needing to take 2 bloody busses to do so...your Conestoga College a s Pioneer areas, your Forest Glen areas, your Ira Needles, your Beechwoods and Laurelwoods, Stanley Parks and Bingemons...at least 8 to 12 tentacle lines would be ideal for the LRT...or short busses, a fleet of which run through neighborhoods every 15 mins connecting to a LRT that runs every 5 to 6 mins...you'll see an uptick...give an incentive to leave the car behind [Now mind you Sars-COVID probably threw a wrench into it all]
