The vast majority of the Trillium line traffic is Carleton students. As a result, hundreds of passengers are alighting (AM peak) at Carleton from each train, leaving lots of room for more people to board. The new condos/apartments are north of the university, so I just don't see it being an issue as they can fill the seats vacated by university students. For the suburban traffic, the trains are doubling in size, so they have reserve capacity for many years. As for the hospital, the by enlarge the load is distributed over a longer time period. Only the staff will come in waves, and I don't see that as contributing more than a couple hundred pphpd.
