Commuter stations around Stoney could help take some load off the end stations on the NW/S line, and commuter rail would be the start of getting rail from DT all the way to Banff, I'd call that a huge benefit to Calgary!
Seem to recall parties were even prepared to do this privately a while back?
There's probably some huge hidden subsidy involved, but expanding rail for commuter use seems like it'd be much cheaper than building a full new LRT line
