ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

I believe that he was referring to the surge in ridership due to the huge influx of foreign students which inflated ridership numbers and also population growth forecasts.

I mean, 1/3 - 1/2 of riders were absolutely not foreign students at Conestoga college.

But even so, that does not "inflate" ridership numbers, that's just people riding the train.

I do agree that closing the Conestoga college downtown campus will hurt ridership some, but the train still services two other much larger post secondary institutions.
