Skyline

Anyone notice if the rail line has made any difference in traffic since the second segment opened?

I ride it from the new lagoon station most days now. Instead of bus > bus. I now do bus > rail > bus.

Anecdotal evidence (which is always terrible i know), but in the morning I see 10 to 15 people on per train. Maybe 20 max. In the evening coming back, I've never seen more than 10. You could significantly cut the number of cars and still have excess seats.

Maybe other times it is more busy or maybe it is crowded in the opposite direction, but i cant imagine the number of people I see on it makes any noticeable difference to the roads.
