That's remarkable from a NA perspective. According to wiki, "Daily ridership Line A: 155,000, Line B: 120,000 (2022)." For us seeing KWC with an LRT carrying 25k per day seems very impressive (which it is given the NA context). But Rennes is almost unimaginable. Like the city version of a having a superpower.

Don't ask people not to debate a topic. Just stop making debatable assertions. Problem solved.
