That's crap. It was comparing numbers from Fallowfield Station for the 95, which is always behind schedule when it hits downtown, to numbers from a LRT station south of Strandherd which would be closer for more people in Barrhaven.

Replacing the Transitway for these sections would offer better service, and better speed, which would increase ridership. You can't build a system on "good intentions". It needs to be backed up with facts and numbers.

Well, how about you back up your statements with facts and numbers for a change? How much faster would converting the Woodroffe Transitway to LRT make the route? And how many more riders will it convert?

Of course the Barrhaven and Riverside South voted for that, (even if the polls weren't that favorable for the O-Train), they're the only one getting a good deal out of it. How can you sell a fast system like that? In the field?! Wetlands? Low ridership and extremely high cost and minimal return on investment? No wonder it was voted down.

If that's the case why develop anything that doesn't service the entire city?
