Very different. The planners are forecasted only 700 riders for peak hour, only 7,144 passengers per day at Sherway. The forecasts for Don Mills station were several times this. Fairview Mall isn't the major driver, look at the population density around here, and the number of bus routes. While route 15 and 80 end there, neither would feed that many passengers - and the two routes combined only have 5,300 a day - I'd think only a fraction would want to head the wrong way to the subway.. Route 123 would be well served - 5,800 passengers per day. And it would also serve Mississauga route 4, which runs every 32 minutes in rush hour (the remaining routes would be better served by an East Mall station, or the existing Islington and Kipling stations).
I'm just shocked that you are defending a subway with less than 1,000 at peak hour. This only confirms my suspicions that much of this subway expansion push is not driven by either passenger demand, or a rational use of money. It really challenges your credibility.
Sherway ... 7,144 per day.
Yeah, I know where you are going ... and it's for this reason that the York University works. Peak hour is only forecast (in 2001 for 2021) to be 3,800 ... however the daily total is a quite high 81,762 (compare to Eglinton West, where they forecast a peak hour of 4,100 but only a daily total of 45,448).
