It’s too much service for launch day. It’ll take years to build such demand. There isn’t any big employment centre along the line either. So I personally don’t think the ridership will sky rocket till an extension through Etobicoke. Clearly they don’t think so either unless they secretively bought new cars.

Sorry,I did not mean launch day. I meant overall. Lets say it is a week after launch day and the cars are at crush limit for the morning and evening rush. Would it not make sense to buy more cars and when they come in a year or so, get them out on the line to add as much frequency and space as possible?
The way it has been phrased here is that it is impossible to increase frequency due to something other than rolling stock.

I highly doubt that will happen. If it does, good. That means people are flocking to transit.

Meanwhile they could be creative like every other train would run with 3 cars. They can also short turn every other train or every third train providing more service on the busiest portion.
