You're kidding? The point is when the average taxpaying citizen reads about a train capable of hauling 168 passengers has 12 people on board they question it's value and if it's something they continue supporting with a tax extension. They don't care about on-offs ,what time ,or where. It only bolsters the point that SMART"S near empty train killed another pedestrian. It also bolsters the point that it would be in SMART"S best interest to defend it's costs versus ridership by withholding ridership data.
Crazy people use terms like "vast conspiracy"and "evil" . Are you mocking them or are you one of them?
