So a hypothetical two-train service (assuming they charge standard TransLink 3-zone fares) is basically looking for cheapskates who have such a strong desire for personal space that they're willing to use up most of their morning or afternoon to get it... which excludes most of the Sea-to-Sky's commuters and a large chunk of the sightseers. This'll have to be like a discount Rocky Mountaineer to be viable.

WestCoast Express fares are $25.90 (5-zone). They are not going to charge less to Whistler than the WestCoast express to Mission for a longer distance.
Can't see saving money being a motivator to use the service.
