Doubling Public Transport Ridership Would Make Little Difference:
http://www.publicpurpose.com/pp-2xuspt.htm
Doubling Public Transport Ridership Would Make Little Difference: Even if ridership could be doubled, the overall impact would be slight in most areas. The urban transit market share is now less than 2 percent, and doubling would be equal to a single year's growth in urban auto use. And, as has occurred in a number of areas that have increased ridership, a large percentage of the new riders may not be auto drivers --- they could be induced riders, especially lower income riders who lack autos taking advantage of the higher levels of service. This is not necessarily a negative outcome, but has nothing whatever to do with reducing traffic congestion, which a principal rationale (unjustified based upon experience) for increasing transit expenditures.
