"Driving here sucks and everyone complains about the traffic, but the train is virtually empty." Yes, bc use of one mode is only marginally related to how miserable the rest are--a transit network with limited scope and infrequent service is no alternative to sitting in traffic!

A nominal alternative is no alternative--it must be VIABLE! Which means, among other things, that it must be planned to account for *all* parts of society, *all* kinds of trips. Not just for the rich or the poor. Not just for the elderly or for students. Not just for commuting!

Design a network specifically tailored to the 9-5 office commute, and you'll find even 9-5 office workers prefer not to use it. Design it for all kinds of trips, and you'll find that plenty of those trips are 9-5 office worker commutes! This applies to other niches #TrainTwitter
