I don't recall overcrowding on a new bridge either: remember Golden Ears? Many citizens are interested in trying out new things in Vancouver, the Canada Line being one of them. There are a lot of people still trying out the Canada Line, even in my picture, I can say at least 30% of the people are trying out the new line (especially since a lot of the people unloaded at Templeton thinking they were on a Richmond-Brighouse Train). Not to mention, these were weekend frequencies plus train delays.
The suburban buses are much more on schedule now that the bus-lanes would be up and running. Of course, when you synchronize the trains with the buses, you don't want them to be arriving at the same time. I would say, let a train depart 30 seconds before when a bus is scheduled to arrive, then there will be three-four minutes to the next train arriving, which will give you plenty of time transferring from the bus loop to the platform.
