I'm particularly bothered by Matthews' comment about the possibility of low ridership. If you make it competitive enough with the car in terms of convenience, and better priced than VIA Rail or Greyhound, people will be more likely to take it. Doubly so if the 401 ever got tolled.
I personally would be unlikely to use it if it opened today as I live in North York and anyone I would visit in the London area do not live anywhere close to downtown. But as a downtown Toronto worker, I'd consider living in London and commuting to Toronto - if BRT/LRT is built and it links directly with a high speed rail terminal. A big if.
