Respectfully as a former North Shore resident, I think that catchment barely has the ridership to support the busses that currently exist. Transit ridership on the North Shore is all about getting to the First Narrows, the Second Narrows, or the Quay to cross the harbour. I think transit ridership
within the North Shore is pretty pitiful.
Perhaps that will change in the future, but I really find it hard to believe that there's a significant untapped population living in Edgemont that would benefit from an express bus to Lynn Valley or there's a significant untapped population living in Lynn Valley that is dying for an express bus to Lionsgate. For the most part, the population centres on the North Shore are transit
sources but they're hardly transit
sinks.
