3) Build UBC extension (which frankly, should be last as per the Editorial and reasonings that I already explained)

Wow, that's brave! It's good that you have a pipeline into the minds of other SSPers!
Actually, to be blunt: I think you're wrong. I think most SSPers that know what they're talking about would say build the M-Line extension to Granville or Arbutus first as absolute priority number 1. Poll anyone?
M-Line extension would interchange with Canada Line and serve Central Broadway, taking the heat off the B-Line and providing a pressure release valve for the Broadway/Commercial transfer. Not to mention, no operating subsidies would be required, even right out of the gate.
Only after that should we be expanding to the east, which certainly won't reduce the number of people passing through Broadway & Commercial.
But then again, this subject has been flogged to death and like most I am happy as long as we are moving in the direction of necessary (overdue) expansion. So I take back all the stuff I said above. Just BTMFA.
