LRT cost efficiency improves dramatically as ridership increases, as can be seen from the numbers above: the same rail line, with similar capital and operating costs, is far more efficient if it is carrying 20,000 people per hour than if it is carrying 2,400.
Efisiensi biaya LRT melesat seiring meningkatnya jumlah penumpang: rel yang sama, dengan modal dan biaya operasi yang sama, jauh lebih efisien apabila mengangkut 20.000 orang per jam daripada 2.400 orang per jam.
