But improve travel time with better acceleration and drastically reduce track wear
modest investments (better frequency, more stops) TRIPLED ridership on Fairmount Line--that is not a modest increase!

-
induced demand means increasing capacity (thru better travel time, higher frequency) has outsized impact on ridership
-
the response to crowding here is not to reduce it, but to accommodate much larger crowds by providing much more service

Started from a small base. Daily 1,000 pax '12 to daily 2,500 pax '17 on 31 trips, x-bar of 80 pax per trip (<1 single-lvl car).
-
what was the x-bar in '12? and if the least-used route surged 186% by upgrading to *hourly* freq, how would a busier one fare at 15min?
-
This is just looking at frequency improvements ofc--couple them with travel time improvements from electrification, what happens?
