If every seat is filled every time, the that is 624 people per hour or roughly about a quarter of the capacity of one lane of traffic.  With only 25K trips per day for all of Santa Clara County's multiple light rail lines, they don't have every seat filled very often.  The real capacity is probably less than ten percent of one lane of traffic. I'm not familiar with details of Santa Clara County, but here in Portland the claims that MAX ridership is equaling the capacity of a highway lane is exposed as bullcrap when you compare ridership to the actual numbers of cars on either the Banfield of Sunset Highway.  The number of cars that would be on the road if MAX didn't exist (even exaggerating this number since most MAX riders would go back to the buses) would be but a blip in the total - easily absorbed and nobody would notice.  They might notice an increase due to additional cars driven by people new to the area or new to driving age but since the argument makes the claim about Max riders supposedly being kept off the highways, we'll stick to that.  And it's a blip, if anything.  Take a look at the numbers of people travelling on the Banfield per hour and you'll see an actual mass transit system.  Bob Tiernan     The government works best when it establishes the       rules of the road, not when it seeks to determine         the composition of the traffic .

     Sheesh!  How fast was I driving when I was a cabbie! Do try to compare apples to apples.      'Apples to apples' would be to compare the time it takes to get from the Expo Center to the bus mall by the routes each would take in the real world.  If you were driving from the Expo to Pioneer Square, why in the world would you take Interstate?  Such a comparison - making the car take the same route as IMAX - would be meaningless! Someone contemplating a trip from Expo to downtown isn't going to be comparing the time IMAX would take to the time it would take to drive down Interstate, but rather IMAX as compared to taking the freeway. That would be 'apples to apples' - real-world choices as a commuter would actually make them.  Taking Interstate by car on such a trip would add considerably to the time of the trip.      Though if we limit the discussion just to rush hour, a different equasion results; then, I should think the IMAX would beat out the car pretty handily.      Anybody driven these routes lately?

FEIS - 27 minutes by IMAX, 24 minutes by private auto.      I was cab driver and dispatcher for too many years to accept that without testing the idea.  I can see where my assumption that you were talking Kenton-to-Portland was faulty; however, even Expo-to-downtown wouldn't be much longer.  Unless, of course, the comparison was done with the car travelling along Interstate; which would be silly - if your goal was to get to Pioneer Square, why would you travel Interstate by car? I do it all the time.  The Interstate Ave route is much less stressful than I-5

Wooden Nokia Nokia's Eco-Team, a group of workers developing a more environmentally friendly phone concept, designed the wooden kamerofon with 8 megapixel camera.
