The point about non-Vancouver destinations being important is valid, but either way, I think a one seat ride is over-rated. One seat rides are nice, but you can have a much better transit system (that serves multiple destinations) if people just transfer a bit more. With fast connections and frequent service, everyone can win, even if only just a little bit.
