Steven gave you some math one how many people prt could carr,y in theory,
from a game. At a rate of 120 cars per hour, with many going a fair
distance, what is the total number of cars needed, since you would also be
expected to serve the normal system needs as well as the sports fans?
I had made a comment about the lrt folks not being likely to want prt as
feeders. I guess that I didn't express it well enough, since Steven
didn't see my point. Let's say that you use prt to feed lrt at Franklin,
Lake, 38th, 46th, Minnehaha Park, and whatever the other station is near
the VA hospital. If these prt lines extend west across town to Hennepin
and there is just one north-south prt line, say along Nicollet, the time
to take prt west from the lrt to Nicollet and north to downtown is probably
less than taking the lrt to downtown from that stop. It almost certainly
would be faster from Cedar, for example. And you wouldn't need to transfer.
So the only way that the lrt pushers would back prt feeders is if there
were no north-south lines. But I don't think that they would back it
anyway...
