More train commuters are employed in businesses located on Main Street than in businesses located on the adjoining side street.

A reliable survey of Flowertown's commuters showed that virtually none of them would use the train any less frequently if the station's entrance were moved.

The high-rent block of Flowertown's Main Street includes several buildings whose owners currently seek to replace long-standing tenants lost in recent months.

If the station's entrance were moved, the train company would need to begin costly renovations to its Main Street entrance space.

Ridership on Flowertown trains declined only slightly from 1970 to 1985 while other train companies lost large numbers of commuters.
