I don't understand how you guys consider the UPX a stellar success.
It's ridership has certainly soared since lowering it's fares but they are still just the level of a middling bus route. $500 million for 8000 passengers a day is a ghastly waste of money. Pearson & Union are the biggest employment centres in the city but few commuters take the route because it's too expensive.
Denver's Airport link just opened and is already averaging 15,000 passengers a day with the same 15 minute intervals.
A chunk of that 500 million was for the Georgetown South expansion, which while enabled the UPX is not exclusive to it.
