Public transport can't have more ridership until it is made more functional. Yes we need more frequent buses, more train lines, hell even more bicycle options. When cities prioritize walking it creates more economic activity which then helps fund the public transport. Also I ride the metro everyday to work and you can catch the metro and lightrail at Lexington Market. Though I would like more trains that move through the city than the half finished attempts that are the lightrail and metro. Would've been nice if Hogan didn't literally break federal law and steal the money from the red line.

In short, if you build it, they will come.
