That's really all that matters. It's a mathematical decision.

What about the 4 months of the year when most students and staff go on holidays?
It's not justifiable to have a skytrain line serving low density neighbourhoods go all the way to the University at all times of the year. Rapid buses are more flexible: higher frequency during peak school sessions and lower during the holidays.
If West Broadway and 10th Avenue get densified from Arbutus to UBC, then by all means continue the line all the way there.
