Sounds like I don’t need to provide additional examples.
I would just point out that we need to be careful about what we mean by 75% of capacity. The Ion has already been close to capacity during busy times. Of course its capacity can be significantly expanded by running more trips and using 2-car trains, so it’s nowhere near ultimate capacity. But it isn’t some underutilized white elephant.
Now imagine how popular it would be if it were operated at a more reasonable speed and with better frequency.
