Broadway subway should see increases to 9 service levels, so a draw on 40 foot buses and a little relief on 60 foots from truncated 99 service.
Burnaby Gondola should see relief on the 40 foots used on the 145 as that route will be eliminated (5 buses being used on that route right now I can see from the T-Comm), would expect these to cover the increase on the 9.
Langley extension will eliminate the 503 (9 x 40ft buses being used right now for that route), and will see some better efficiencies on other routes. But overall should drive the need for more routes and service increases that will require more than 9 spare 40ft buses.
UBC extension, in theory you'd get all the 99 60ft buses back to use on other routes (less whatever is reallocated from the broadway subway opening). There's 23 of those running right now, so that should be a big uplift to any rapidbus routes in need at the time (likely R4/R5).
