When I compare other destinations that I frequent, I get similar results. Increased frequency benefits those already taking transit, which is great. Unfortunately I don’t believe that it will get enough people to give up thier cars. Most people drive for convenience.
You made an absolute statement, which two others have explained how it is wrong, it would be nice to acknowledge them.
It's good you give a specific example of how your statement can be true.
That being said, I think the data disagrees, studies show frequency is extremely important in driving people to use transit. Frequency is freedom.
