More trains are directly on the Region's dime, which will hopefully be offset with the fares it collects. I'm very hopeful that higher frequency directly correlates with higher ridership.
Definitely, and in fact I have some hope that the service anticipated by the project agreement is a minimum that our transit planners hope to exceed. Especially given that lowballing the amount of service in the RFP would have reduced the headline cost of the contract, which in our political climate may have been important.
