I think the question is pretty obvious that we do what we can to build up Central Station.

I agree it would be nearly impossible to go back now. But I'd be willing to sacrifice Central Station for improved efficiency of the system as a whole. I guess I equate better efficiency with shorter commute times with increased ridership(which is the ultimate goal). And its true, should a transfer station at North Temple be built, almost no one would get off at Central Station. I understand your wanting to protect the millions of public dollars that have already been pumped into the Central Station location, but that money was spent with the purpose of serving the public. And if a transfer station at North Temple serves the public better, than so be it.
