Avoiding transfers is a bonus. But that should come far behind increased frequencies. And Ottawa is nowhere close on that front.

I've actually come to the point where I think Carling should be BRT to allow for feeder buses to use it for some portion. Ditto Baseline/Heron like you said. Really Carling, Baseline/Heron and Hunt Club should all have protected curbside bus lanes and frequent all-day service, with feeder routes using them to access the LRT network.
