The irony is that our coming LRT system isn't much better. I vaguely recall
a newspaper story some months back -- I believe in the PiPress -- that
detailed how LRT would only deliver several hundred passengers to each big
game because of a decision to use two-car trains. It was shocking to see
just how little relief LRT could provide during high-capacity events.
Does anyone recall the figures and other planning details? I think I
remember this correctly, although I'd like to be wrong.
