"The immediate vicinity of the North Berkeley BART stop in California is surrounded on all sides by parking lots, and thus the station currently sees only about 1,700 riders per weekday."

?!!? No: 1. North Berkeley is extremely low density housing. 2. There's a casual carpool pickup right in front of the station, which siphons 100s of riders away from BART. It's very fast, there's little wait time and it's free.

If North Berkeley had skyscrapers and riders didn't have a better option then you'd see NYC level ridership.
