Honestly I think Scott Road is likely to stay BRT and King George will get Skytrain simply due to geography. That's even before you consider that Surrey has been busy approving towers while N Delta (where I grew up) is only allowing towers on Scott Road and wants to keep the rest of the area as SFH.

I don't think Scott Road is that big of a deal. Yes a direct straight shot up the hill isn't super viable, but the Southern Railway ROW has existed for over a hundred years and clearly is viable for rail transport.
