Yeah I was going to comment on that.
I also find it humorous that some people seem to think good transit means Skytrain while TransLink is planning for way more RapidBus / BRT (as it's cheaper and faster to implement). It's hard to find much of anywhere in the CoV that doesn't have good transit service - it's got better service than the rest of the region.
I like the idea of running separated express rail along highways but the reality is if we actually get anything it's much more likely to be a bus (hopefully in it's own lane). The two 'legs' you show are already bus routes - and I second Migrant Coconut about ending one of them in Ladner and not White Rock.
