And McMaster, at the terminus of the proposed LRT line, has over 35,000 students and staff (and a hospital).

So, even if we count only employees and students downtown and at McMaster their are about 60,000 potential commuting riders.

And we could add in another few thousand students at Columbia College and Westdale as well as the about 70,000 residents in Wards 1 and 2.

Well over 100,000 potential riders is a pretty promising base, especially as this considers only the western half of the LRT line, and there is huge potential for growth which will be accelerated by the LRT line all along the route (as shown by the land use study).
