We own the Quiznos on Capitol Hill (a block from the future Link station!) and wondered when is the Department of Revenue going to send us a sales tax increase notice if the tax is supposed to begin on Jan 1.

Also, it extends across the multiple senses of the term, including "hub of activity", "neighborhood hub", etcetera. Furthermore, it says "has the capacity to" and it only says "million", as in 1. Given projected max frequency and headways, that's the right figure.

Most of the stations will not be "hubs," and it will also not be taking "millions" of people out of their cars.
