But with more people living in the NE, Deerfoot north is getting more crowded, along with airport traffic and everyone entering the city from that end of town. I can see the NC LRT becoming the quicker way for people to commute downtown from Beddington and places north of Nose Hill, where everyone has to go east or west before hitting a major highway of sorts. I can also see commuters from Airdrie using the last station as a more viable Park'n'ride than what is currently Saddletowne. At least with the south line, there is already a good capture for out of town commuters from the south. Also, the SE as it sits right now if already serves by a large deerfoot highway AND the new ring road for industrial commuters. As far as how many people are actually going to be commuting downtown from the SE, I would say dedicated throughways for buses would be the cheapest and most logical way to go. At least then we would be able to see usage potential for a new LRT line that could take over later.
However, I would also like to see a Glenmore crosstown rapid transit of any kind. I think the service for this East-West commuting pattern is greatly underdeveloped.
