This is equivalent to 2.5 lanes <br />of freeway traffic. <br />The Baseline Growth Scenario increases peak hour ridership to <br />about 6,400 riders at the peak load point — equivalent to widening <br />US -101 by 2 lanes. Peak hour demand exceeds capacity by about <br />40%. <br />The Moderate Growth Scenario increases peak hour ridership to <br />about 7,500 riders at the peak load point — equivalent to widening <br />US -101 by 2.5 lanes. Peak hour demand exceeds effective <br />capacity by about 35% due to higher demand for express trains. <br />• • • • • Existing The High Growth Scenario increases peak hour ridership to over <br />11,000 at the peak load point — equivalent to widening US -101 by <br />5.5 lanes.
