I just get this feeling that it won't be successful in moving people downtown and the Trillium Line will remain mostly a student mover. As long as there is no direct service to downtown, the Southeast Transitway will continue to dominate especially for those originating in the Hunt Club area. And I have no confidence in the current expansion plan and the potentially complicated train movements that I expect will have a further negative affect on reliability. It is crazy to expect people from Riverside South and Findlay Creek to have to take one bus and three trains to travel to and from downtown. And of course, there is no plans to double track in the foreseeable future anyways. We are setting ourselves up for failure. And as long as ridership is underwhelming, there will be little pressure to double track, which will have a much higher price tag than it did in 2006.
