Route 85 definitely works well, it is quite frequent most of the day and most trips use artics. Any overcrowding could be solved by any of:
* Increase the 85 frequency even more
* Increase north-south service perpendicular to the Carling corridor
* Rapid service along the Carling corridor, such as a limited stop version of the 85 and provide bus lanes or transit priority measures
As well, I do recommend that the service hours be increased on the 101, with more late evening service on weekdays and Sunday service at least during the daytime. In order to maintain transfers to routes to the southeast and speed up overall service, during the LRT construction, some peak period trips should be converted to a new route 100 which could run along part of the Southeast Transitway (perhaps interline with another route like 146 or 148 to allow service as far as Billings Bridge), while other 101's should operate to Place d'Orleans bypassing Hurdman for a faster trip.
