No, but there should be more choices for commuters that live in the SE. I don't really consider the 302 "BRT"(I use the word loosely) a good option for transit users. I agree with your point about not encouraging more people to live further away. We should plan better suburbs and remove the housing subsidy the city provides to new neighbourhoods, providing a sub-standard transit system will not discourage people moving into new areas in my humble opinion.
