Here in Toronto the GO Train used to be one hour apart. If you missed your train you had to wait an hour for the next one. Of-course people drove in to work.
Today the train is every twenty minutes, and every run is half to completely full.
Why? Because on average people have to wait 20 minutes if they just missed the train, and if they just randomly arrive they often do not have to wait more than 10 minutes for a train.
Result, people use the train more often and for more than just work since the train is available so often.
