This is assuming that a substantial number of drivers will be leaving their cars at 
home and hopping on the train instead. What's the consensus on
this? What's the range of projected ridership on the Hiawatha line? I like solving 
problems quantitatively, so let's try this. 

(ExpectedRailRidersWhoCurrentlyDrive)/(TotalMinneapolisDrivers) = (RAIL IMPACT ON 
PARKING AND TRAFFIC TICKETS)

I have a gut feeling that this number will be miniature. Can anyone on the list make a 
ballpark guess at this number?

How many rail passes have been sold yet?
