If you think "no one is riding light rail" then you are 100% wrong.

Every single train is either full or nearly full all day, and that's one train every 7 or 8 minutes.

Every single train every 7 or 8 minutes is two buses that aren't further snarling traffic, even if your assumption that no cars are being removed from traffic is true (which I believe it's not...I live with someone whose car is not in traffic every day thanks to light rail).

I see this with my own two eyes every single day.

Fish on...
