ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
(03-19-2023, 07:14 PM)Bytor Wrote: If that route has not yet reached 4,000 riders a day, why do people think an LRT covering roughly the same route today would reach 7,000/day to be able to be cost competitive with a bus route?

Would a LRT increase ridership? Sure. Would it double the ridership from current? No, of course not.

Because it’s well known that many more people will ride an LRT than will ride a bus. That being said, I don’t know that it would double quickly, but it’s believable that it could.
