> Why is the ridership low? Because people are afraid of dangerous neighborhoods, wackos, homeless and other people of lower castes.

Where do you get this? PT ridership goes down where it is unreliable, has insufficient hours, has too few runs and where stops are far away. These things are all from investing far below what the public needs.

What I have personally seen over and over is that PT fills up with all the people who can overcome the hurdles and make it work. Remove more hurdles, get more riders.
