I was near by at around 6pm on a weekday a few days ago and it definitely didn't seem empty (but not extremely busy either). I think the train was approximately half full.
Surprised at incredibly bad numbers?!? 3,250 a day, when the target for 2016 was 5,000?I have always thought UPX was a grotesque waste of money and Toronto wouldn't even have to build the Western portion of ST if Metrolinx hadn't got it's greasy hands on the corridor. Have to say thou that even I am surprised by these incredible bad ridership numbers.
3,250 riders a day is going to be something like $20M/year in revenue? That seems like a pretty solid start.
Why are we happy with a 25% capacity factor?
But adding an equivalent GO service on the route might make it moot
Nice photos, Paul. Do you post any of this to Flickr too, by any chance?
