There is no political entity of National Capital Region and the National Capital Commission has no mandate/funding to provide for regional transportation (and most of the Moose stations are outside the National Capital Region anyway). Lots of things are not optimized for entities that don't exist. You're expecting to disrupt the transit services of people who live, pay taxes and vote in Ottawa to benefit people who do not live, pay taxes or vote in Ottawa. That is not a decision most sensible politicians would make.

Does that assume existing rural and exurban commuters would relocate to high density moose communities?
