From the city's Phase 1 Feasibility Study:
(http://www.hamilton.ca/NR/rdonlyres/942C4046-D867-40B0-B01E-E62552F32423/0/FinalReportMay2008small.pdf)
It is assumed that by 2031 transit trips within the City of Hamilton will increase by approximately 100% as a result of the improved transit services and population and employment growth. The largest increases in ridership will be on east-west corridor through the city centre.
This service would call for the operation of 9 articulated buses on the A-Line and 25 on the B-Line for a total of 34.
Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs) typically have a design capacity of twice that of articulated buses (145 compared to 70-75) and so, were LRT to be implemented,
the service frequencies would be halved and the number of vehicles required reduced to 18: the B-Line would run every 5 minutes and require 13 LRVs; and the A-Line would operate every 10 minutes on the common section from downtown to Mohawk Road, and 30 minutes from the Waterfront to downtown and to the Airport, requiring 5 LRVs.
Assuming a spares ratio of 20% for articulated buses and 10% for LRVs the total requirements would be:
• For BRT 41 articulated buses;
• For LRT 20 LRVs
