15,213 of Cincinnati's 2.1 million metro residents get on their 3x a week train in the middle of the night vs 6.3 million in Houston to produce 20,603 boardings in the afternoon/evening. Your boardings seem in line with an area that is indifferent to rail service when push comes to shove(canceled replacement of HOS station with intermodal center, lack of OH 3 C's cooridor service funding).Yes, it would be wonderful if everyone had hub level service for their preferred transit option in their town with a no congestion route to the terminal. The reality is we don't. Feel free to can chew out your legislative reps and tell them to fund trains. I have 8 daily departures instead of just 1 each direction from a LD train because IL and MO legislatures make it so.
