One way we easily generate demand for transit link to the airport is through a simple measure: getting the federal government to require its employees to take transit to the airport instead of buying them cab fares. You'd be amazed how much government money is spent on buying cabs for employees, even when travelling between extremely transit friendly destinations. For example, there was a conference a few weeks ago at the downtown Convention Centre, and the government paid for cabs to transport employees to and from Tunney's Pasture! Even though it's an extremely easy trip by transit... I'm honestly shocked in this era of belt-tightening that the Treasury Board is still allowing this.
