Read the actual data Owen: The biggest group that saw an increase in ridership during the pilot program were people making less than $28k, not the middle class. 11% switched from driving or taxi, noteworthy reduction in traffic along the routes.

I don't even know what you think I'm saying that is wrong... but that mode shift from driving is absolutely miniscule. It's 11% of the new riders, which was only 12%. 11% of 12% is less than 2%. Those results pretty clearly show this is a worse investment than new service.
