Austin's low bus ridership suggests that are no suitable corridors/routes that make sense to invest billions to upgrade to LRT.
Is there any corridor where 60+ full-size buses go through per hour during peak hours? Because that's probably the absolute minimum where LRT's higher capacity would be useful and start being more cost effective than buses.
