Do the math:
Capitol Corridor says: "We now have the same frequency of trains as Amtrak runs on the Northeast Corridor between Boston and New York," he said, noting that when the line was created in 1991 it had three roundtrips and carried 270,000 passengers a year. Today it has 16 roundtrips and carries nearly 1.3 million passengers.
In 1991 the Capitol Corridor carried 90,000 per round trip. Fifteen years late it carries 81,250 per round trip. Hmmm.
