And of course the other systems spent more, they are much, much longer, many with multiple lines. They just happened to put them in the right places, unlike our glorious red line.

It is no coincidence that ridership started dropping at the same time they implemented changes to the 1. That is the only argument that one can prove as causal, all the others may have had some impact but messing with our most successful route proved detrimental to the point they still have not recovered.
Just wanted to state that while 22 out of 28 is poor, it's still not the worse.

When choosing where upgrades to transit systems should be made, I would suggest choosing your best bus route is a great place to start. Otherwise, why upgrade at all?
