That was my point...of course ridership numbers won't compare, but the extensiveness and availability are other aspects that people often use to rank rail systems. I would much rather have MARTA than one of the LRT systems mentioned, but I would just pointing out that some would place other factors ahead of ridership.

But yeah, I changed my post to 6 because that is really my opinion as well.
