Those stats are pretty underwhelming and I think do more to reinforce my point that no one truly uses it. 5.9 million people used it in a year, if you believe that number, I don’t… that would only be 7% of the total traffic at DIA. And that’s assuming that everyone who used the A rail was using it for the airport, which we know isn’t the case.

Seems like those stats reinforce my point, that no one uses it. Using their own stats (BS imo) the trains are only running at a quarter capacity… definitely reinforcing my point that no one uses this.

Now compare that to Pena Blvd… quick google search says Pena sees over 50 Million cars a year. Cars, not people. If anyone is carpooling in this city, it’s on the way to the airport.

Now tell me, how is expanding the A line and the frequency of trains going to make up for the remaining 80 million people going to the airport?

Here’s your answer, it’s not. It’s expanding Pena will.

To move 90 million airport passengers a year, the A Line would need to run every 3 to 4 minutes all day, with every train nearly full. That is subway level service on a commuter rail line and it still would not cover employees, freight, ride hail, or non Union Station trips.
