How do we achieve higher ridership if walks are longer, frequency is reduced, there are more transfers to reach your destination, and connecting routes are also less frequent.
This seems contrary to what you are suggesting.

The plan seems to be to make commuting by car also much worse. Choking traffice on complete streets that used to be commuter paths, more expensive and harder to find parking. With much more the former and largely hidden from the public debate. The game changer would be a congestion charge as it would make a clear discentive at the same time as not delaying essential trips though it has equity issues of course. It also actually provides new funds for transit without property tax increaes. I think with Ford in power it's impossible even if we could get consensus of course
