I would also suggest that rapid transit encourages sprawl.

In terms of Calgary .. the city sprawls in the direction of the LRT lines. The far south of Calgary really took off after the LRT was established to Sommerset. It was also lead to tens of thousands to move to bedroom communities south of the city.. communite to the Sommerset station and than take the train into the city.

It is common that the C-train is completely full before it even leaves the first stop.. thats a strong sign of sprawl which is assisted by the C-Train.

If there were less transit options.. could it force many more people to live closer to there work?
