I don't have a horse in this race, but how many extra trips did it encourage vs. staying home?

  How would we know? For the sake of the economy, more trips is typically better than less. But at the end of the day, would you rather for the only choice to be cars or have a proper sustainable/scalable way of transport?

    While fares shouldn't be outrageously expensive, and better national-level through-ticketing would be nice, beyond that I'd rather have better (more frequent) and reliable, rather than simply massively cheaper service with no further service improvements.

  In general extra trips are "good" until the operators have to put more trains on the rails (as the marginal costs of an extra rider are nearly zero when the train is already scheduled).
