1) If you're willing to go
WAY back into the other threads, TransLink already ran a study on how much ridership they'd get by increasing frequency. Spoiler alert: it's not enough to pay for the increased expenses. What we've got now is a compromise between service and cost.
2) The "core" gets most of the service because it's, well, the "core;" the densest, most populous area, located in (roughly) the centre of the city - guaranteed ridership. That'll probably change as the suburbs densify... and as Surrey fixes its — hedge maze of a grid. I for one would welcome a B-Line from Richmond to Burnaby or Surrey.
