Didn't the express buses skip any station within the Greenbelt outside Tunney's to Hurdman?
The majority of riders won't get a seat. The trains have more standing room than seats. It will be a major shift in mentality for all involved: the age of double deckers with seats for everyone is over.
I have a feeling the trains will be tight at first. Hopefully, OC can add some trains over the next year to increase frequency/capacity. Once Stage 2 launches, some trains will be short-turned at Blair, increasing the capacity for the central segment.
To stay within the thread's subject matter, the inner-grennbelters in the west end might not be so lucky since all trains (at rush hour) will have come from Kanata or Barrhaven. No short-turns for them.
