The 99 can come up to every three minutes - can the block handle all those artics, especially with the logjam at 10th/Alma/Broadway? And don't forget all the Jericho-UBC passengers that may consider driving instead.

The 99 wouldn't need to maintain current service levels, in fact it won't even need to once the Broadway Extension is completed. Five minute headways would surely be more than enough once the Broadway Corridor is served by the Millennium Line (Reminder that half of westbound 99 riders get off before Arbutus). Regardless, the block already basically handles the 99 at current frequency levels anyway considering that the 99 has to make the turn back and forth onto Dunbar.
For Jericho-UBC passengers that would want to head to UBC, the 84 is a very appealing option currently and has a stop less than 200m from where the Jericho-UBC Millennium Line station is supposed to be.
