Even from Joyce, it is faster to take the M-line: Joyce->Columbia->Production way to get to SFU. And from Metrotown station the times on the direct bus or taking Skytrain around the long way are almost the same.
And travel from Lougheed to Metrotown is quite popular with the young folk.
The only way an mline shuttle could be convenient is if it stopped at both Columbia platforms (entered the Westbound, stopped, exit west, re-enter the Eastbound platform, stop, then exit onto the Mline) and was as (if not more) frequent than the current M-Line.
Then people wouldn't have to change platforms at Columbia coming from/going to Surrey, they could get on off at the same one.
But I would really worry about the way that would impact other trains entering and leaving Columbia. It's a catch 22, the only way a shuttle could be convenient is if it was frequent, and if it was frequent it could affect other service.
