I wouldn't underestimate the power of Evergreen to take passengers away from WCE. It will be cheaper and more frequent. While there will be many who continue to use the WCE, unless the frequency is increased and they add more trains, it won't have the power to stand up to the EG line.
Many transfer once they get downtown to SkyTrain so the prospect of saving $80 / month for more convenience could be a pretty strong one for many.
If you're on a fixed schedule, the case for the WCE are pretty compelling, but I can still see quite a few switching to EG even for trips that go downtown.
