Doesn't necessarily need to be Skytrain though. If the PMC is LRT, then an LRT extension would make a lot of sense, as a LOT of the route could follow ROWs without crossings... and it would T-Junction at Surrey Central.
No one's going to travel downtown from Surrey via PoCo so it would be rare that people would need to transfer... as much of the traffic would be between Coquitlam Poco and Surrey.
A person wouldn't take the "EAR" line to SFU for example... and if Coquitlamite wanted to go to anywhere in Surrey or White Rock it's 0 or 1 transfers, which there might be anyway if it were skytrain.
While you're at it, you'd have to run commuter rail out to Langley... to appease the rest of Metro Vancouver.
