Good for business.
Another thought: someone from North Bay or beyond comes to Ottawa by bus then hops on the train to Montreal to watch a Sens-Montreal game OR go watch a Sens game at Scotia Place, stays in town overnight and back to the train station for a bus ride back home. No suitcase required.
However, we need a Kanata to Orleans LRT line ASAP. None of that DOTT stuff.

So what you are saying is that it would be great for occasional out-of-towners to breeze through town in winter wearing beachwear while we have to trudge daily into downtown bundled up and in winter boots, dodging trains and getting splattered with dirty slush stepping off of surface LRT?
