If that is the goal, to make it easier for West Campus students to reach 5th & 6th Street lounges, you could save a lot of money just building a streetcar line or press bus line just between these two points. No need to go further north than West Campus, no need to go further south than 6th Street.
If the goal is to eliminate traffic congestion during rush hours, then you do need to study commuting routes and build some alternative where the congestion occurs. Is the Lamar/Guadalupe corridor the only one that gets congested during rush hours?
