[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The purpose of building housing near transit is not to increase transit ridership. It's to increase the number of people who can conveniently get around via transit vs having to get into a car and drive.[/quote] Which, of course, significantly increase transit ridership and crowding.[/quote] Well, it certainly increases transit ridership. It doesn't necessarily increase crowding on transit. People who live near transit are more likely to use transit at off-peak times as well as peak times, and then of course it's possible to add capacity, with longer trains/buses and more frequent trains/buses. Plus replacing car trips with non-car trips has benefits like better air quality, safer streets/fewer crashes, less incidence of conditions associated with being sedentary, and, eventually, more public space for people because the city no longer requires as much space for cars.[/quote]
