Not at all. We're just confident that professional transportation planning staff of the City of Ottawa, and the taxpayers of Ottawa (and of Canada), will see a straightforward way to improve overall transit system performance with high-capacity trains on that line.
Do you have in mind some reason(s) that the city staff or its citizens ought to maintain low capacity at the centre? If so, please elaborate.
The only reason that we've heard about (
as reported here), is the political gambit to keep transit clumsy with areas outside Ottawa's property tax base. Inter-provincial barriers to trade are nothing new. Well, if that's a motivation for restricted capacity at the centre, and for artificially requiring a delay and transfer of all rail passengers with the Quebec side, we just don't think that will be sustainable.
So, it won't be MOOSE that forces anything (other than conformance with existing laws). We think it will be voters.
