You are sounding way too pessimistic for a line that hasn't even opened yet.

This all started when a car driver used an indirect route to get to work in a snowstorm and still got to work faster than would be possible by transit.
My response (and we know it is true) was that our transit plans are not about bringing better transit to the population at large, rather to plan for people to move to next to transit. Only a small minority will want to do this.
We have had to put up with 5+ years of transit disruption and now we need to wait another 10 years before we can expect to see any significant improvements in local transit, while that entire time will also have further transit disruption of varying degrees.
