People keep forgetting that only 30% of the ridership of current Broadway route come from UBC, and less than 10% from 98/C-Line. The rest (> 60%) come from somewhere along Broadway, and this will only become larger once the extension is built. In other word, central Broadway is a much larger destination than UBC. So going away from Broadway meaning that you only build to server less than 40% of the potential ridership at much much more than 40% of the cost. Definitely not worth it.
