Practically none! Most users drive from home to a Park & Ride, where they get on the train. The train, however, for the two per cent of residents who use it, reduces the number of auto miles from the train station to the users destination, which in the case of Dallas is usually downtown. </p><p>In the case of Frisco, TX, transit does not take any cars off the road. A Frisco resident would only see a reduction in traffic if he drives inside the areas served by the rail system. </p><p> </p>
