[article] RPA defends capacity of proposed metro trams

Right, is there anyone out there who can give an accurate (say with a 2500 people pd/ph margin for error either side) what the demand for this service should be

i) when it opens in 2013 (hopefully)? will 20,000 people pd/ph use this line the first week it opens? if not? how many will?

also, in the longer term. is there authoritative evidence as to what the demand would be

ii) circa 2025?
iii) circa 2050?

In my opinion, International comparisons are pretty useless when it comes to this. The build capacity ought to be dictated by one thing and one thing alone, the current and future demand on this route!!.... If only someone could accuratley pinpoint this!
