The LVCC Loop has demonstrated a peak capacity of ~4,400–4,500 passengers per hour in testing.

How did you arrive at tens of thousands of riders?

[testing22321]

I was at the world’s biggest automotive show. It was packed.

So then saying “ Tens of thousands of riders” is a lie since they weren’t actually using the tunnels to ride in at the time.

[testing22321]

I didn’t say anything like at the same time.

In my week in Vegas for SEMA from 8am to well after dark it was always jam packed. That’s tens of thousands of riders.

What was it like when you rode it?

[dagmx]

I’m not in LA so I haven’t ridden it but that’s a moot point to the discussion.

Having tens of thousands of drivers over an unspecified time period rather than simultaneously isn’t really a flex imho.

[testing22321]

I didn’t intend it to be a flex.

I was stating what I saw when I rode it.

>Tens of thousands of riders

You saw tens of thousands of riders?

That anecdote just doesn't jibe with the throughput numbers -- that's why it seems like a flex, it's grossly inflated.

Now before we go into pedantry and you talk about how 'riders' meant 'all willing participants who are sitting in line' , fine -- i've been to SEMA and I understand those crowds , but those aren't riders. It's a misreporting of the situation, and frankly it seems intentional.

I didn't realize they could fit tens of thousands of people in the waiting areas. Those stations must really be something to behold.
