Heh - right back atcha, buddy.
Once again, capacity =/= ridership. Has it ever occurred to you that some of those buses are half-empty, or that not everybody will take the train over the bus?
Because the province has.
When we say the SkyTrain
can carry 15,000 pphpd,
it actually does carry 15,000 pphpd! But for the E&N, you get four trains - one covering the Dayliner route, three (
not five, that's you dreaming out loud) shuttling from Duncan to Victoria West - for a total of 1,505 riders and an average of 376 riders per train. Of all the drivers and bus passengers between Victoria and Courtenay,
those are the only ones who'll make the switch.
So save the crap about 800 seats like the WCE, because 424 of them will be empty and useless. Just like your newest line of argument.

Best of luck, I've been trying all afternoon.
