This is why the Moodie station should have been replaced by a stop on the DND campus or within walking distance of it. The route could curve back to the original alignment to reach Terry Fox. Why would anyone give up direct service for a good % of 15k riders for a station in the middle of a field? Moodie will likely continue to be in the middle of a field for a long time to come. We continually pass up areas that have high ridership levels to begin with and high probability of increasing ridership just like routing the LRT along the parkway instead of running it under Churchill or Kirkwood to Carling and Lincoln Fields.
We need to make sure that there is ridership at all hours of the day, not just at rush hour to shuttle the suburbanites to their jobs and back. Unfortunately both of these ships have sailed.
