If they decide to do both sections and it's a line with a split tail - what would you have as the main section vs the tails?

1) North Van splits to Burnaby and Vancouver
2) Burnaby splits to North Van and Vancouver
3) Vancouver splits to Burnaby and North Van

Now I think we can safely say the first option is silly and not going to happen (even if the image kind of looks like that). I know many will vote for the third one but I think the second option is possible too.

If they're going to (more likely) only build one my vote is for the purple line as it connects with both Expo and Millennium lines, and we need those grid connections more than the hub and spoke model.
