London, New York, and Paris are older metro systems. Newer systems try to eliminate the transfer, which will increase the ridership as shown on a few Metro Vancouver bus routes.
The kind of transfer that would've been used between Commercial Drive to the LRT station would be somewhat of a long walk... similar to the Broadway-Commerical Drive transfer. The transfer used in between Evergreen LRT (if it was LRT) to the SkyTrain network would've been incredibly annoying. Both these transfers aren't seamless nor are they easy. If the transfers are like the MTR, then they would've been more acceptable.

I'm sorry but saying MAJOR CORRIDOR in caps doesn't make your argument any more compelling. I already pointed out some other streets that could take the traffic upthread.

I don't believe increasing traffic to other corridors that are stretched to the limit as it currently is a solution to the problem.
