How does that make something like a train become more desirable to use?

Only 4,400 more people wee added in the next 10 years, to 40,500 in 2006. Another 4,500 were added in the next decade, to 45,000 in 2016. The growth isn't changing - in 2021 total population was estimated at a total of 48,000.

In 1996, according to the census only 380 people who lived in Mission travelled to work in Vancouver, and twenty years later it had risen to 525.

In 1996 8,410 Mission residents drove to work, and 220 took transit. Less than half of them travelled to Vancouver.

In 2016 16,340 Mission residents drove to work, and 555 took transit (and only some of them the train to Vancouver).

So, there is no stops between Waterfront and Mission stations?
