Lynx Blue Line
The Lynx Blue Line is considered to be one of the
most successfully project in recent times. In a country which has seen very
slow progress of infrastructure projects, this has been completed in a near
span of time. Covering 19.3-mile (31.1 km),there are 26 stations in the system,
the light rail portion of which carries an average of over 16,900 passenger
trips every day.
The LYNX line can increase frequency to 7.5
minute headways, with eight trips per hour, carrying a total of 4,160 people
per hour, or 89 percent more people than a lane of I-77. When the LYNX line is
expanded to handle three-car trains at 7.5 minute headways, the line could
transport 6,240 people per hour. That's 2.8 times more people than a lane of
I-77 can carry.
