[sustran] Re: Ridership predictions, urban rail transit

[John Renne]

Alan, Check out the Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, 
Colorado. They had a new light rail line open last summer and predicted 
ridership far underestimated actual ridership. I wish I knew more, but you 
can look them up on the web at www.rtd-denver.com


Cheers,

John L. Renne
