1. An LRT is operated with two-car TUs, each car with a capacity of 164 spaces. The headway is 3 minutes and the cycle time is 48 minutes. The maximum load factor is 0.88, and the line is currently operating at capacity. Compute the present ridership on the line. Ridership is growing and offered capacity must be increased by at least 25 percent. What would happen if the agency took the following measures?
   1. Increase trains from two to three cars
   2. Improve signal system to allow operation of 2-minute headways
   3. Decrease station dwell time and terminal times so that the cycle time is reduced by 42 minutes. Check whether each one of these alternative measures can meet the required increase in capacity.
   4. What might happen to ridership with each of these measures?
