People could be deterred from using Transit here because of insufficient seating capacity and the abomination that is public transit in the Capital Region.

Also, the Millennial generation are getting older. The eldest is now 38, almost middle age. So they're more likely now to be married with children, and that means ditching Transit in favour of their own vehicle.

The very same thing happened in the mid-1990s when Boomers and Gen Xers moved on from riding public transit and bought SUVs or whatever.

And I can assure you that every mid decade or so will happen again.

The eldest Gen Z is now about 16 years old. Still in High School, planning for College/Univ., still a Transit captive... until they too get married and buy their own vehicle.
