In Tyrone's defense, it isn't totally unreasonable to consider a local and express offering between downtown and the airport in the long-run. And repurposing that bridge may be one of the lowest-cost options to cross the river.
Under the basic "butts-in-seats" barometer of transit success, however, the Riverside LRT, i.e. "local" option, will vastly outperform. But it will take an 8- to 9-figure river crossing to do it, and it is highly unlikely to compete with taxis/ridesharing for anyone on a tight timeline.
