It's important to consider upstream ridership as well. Overcrowded trains are a big turn-off. We're down 1,294 in weekday ridership at our station, but the trains are clearly getting filled with additional riders upstream.
21 St-Queensbridge is up 313 (3.7%);
Roosevelt Av is up by 612 (1.2%);
Forest Hills is up by 629 (2.4%);
75 Av is up by 119 (3.2%);
Kew Gardens is up by 517 (1.9%).
That's an additional 2,190 additional riders. If even a small number of them choose to take the F, it doesn't take long until RI residents tire of cramming themselves into a packed car and decide, instead, to take the tram.
