That's a decent growth but man...if full service is just 16 daily trips, they're toast. Even the Hartford Line has that--and it has the advantage of serving more stations. America gotta realize that the only way to get money in passenger rail is in HIGH FREQUENCY servicehttps://twitter.com/MarketUrbanism/status/1046562405331988480 …

Once it's an actual intercity line, 16 trips/day is pretty damn good. But it's not yet.

No, even as an intercity line 16 trips a day is pathetic--back when the Shinkansen *opened* in 1964 and it still took 4 hours to go between Tokyo and Osaka, they were running 21 down trips and probably the same number of up trips. Now it's in the hundreds.pic.twitter.com/uwgB6BQ79g

Looking at a more rural route--I count 12 express runs from Hakodate to Sapporo, but that's padded out by ~25 more local and rapid trains: http://ekikara.jp/newdata/ekijikoku/0101011/down1_01202011.htm …
