With improvements, the bus service could be much more attractive and increase ridership.

Exactly. Do all this.
By the way, how much say does the city have over how the airport develops (ie displacing cab lanes/pickup lanes for a bus stop, building a bus lane through parknride lots, etc)? Is it kind of like a Calgary v CPR type situation?
