It would have been nice if hydro lines could have been buried at the same time as digging up the street, but I suppose adjusting the services to all the properties along King would have been expensive and even more disruptive. I wonder if any of the conduit they installed (they did, didn't they?) is designed to accommodate hydro down the road.
Isn't 10 minutes the accepted frequency below which users stop consulting a schedule for arrival times? I would think that below 5 minute headways the return on investment for greater frequency would be much lower; people aren't going to notice a huge change waiting 2.5 minutes average to waiting 1 minute average, for example.
FWIW, Copenhagen's metro runs at 2 minute headways during rush hour too.
