And I would hazard a guess most of that 55 percent is in the core areas you mentioned. Sound to me like if you were to reduce the bart mileage to a transit system with a truncated commuter rail reach you would end up with a system that would have a boardings to route mile ratio similar to that of WMATA.I would also hazard a guess the people that live in the areas of the lowest boarding stations commute by other modes to destinations that are not served by bart. WMATA has similar commuting patterns. There is a joke in the Washington area that says, people that live in the suburbs of Maryland commute to areas that are 180 degrees around the Capitol Beltway. There is some truth to the joke, I know a few that did and do and did so at various times myself. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
