There is nothing else in the metro region that comes close to it. YVR is the next largest by size after UBC, and by no coincidence, YVR has a transit line.
If you want to maximize your return on dollars spent on rapid transit, then yes, UBC is the destination to build it. Not just because it happens to be a straight shot from Broadway, but because of its own merits.

How nice of you to bring up YVR, you agree then that UBC should also pay the cost of extending skytrain to it then if they're so comparable. Going in circles here
I also agree with most of what SFUVancouer posted but in the end no matter what the merits are the political realities will pick what gets built and it won't be a UBC Line but probably a Broadway Line.
