^^I agree with some of what you said, but I don't think Hamilton is so different from other cities. For example, in Ottawa the transit system is very extensive and it is used by many people who have cars or could easily afford to drive. The difference is that Ottawa's transit system offers the kind of service that people can use. So basically, if you build it they will come. That has been the experience in other cities and I see no reason why Hamilton should be so different.
