They can drive to Eagleson in 30 minutes, then maybe 30-40 minutes downtown.

Yeah I'm sure these lines need a ton of work.
As for parking and riding from Eagleson. I wonder what the schedule will look like once LRT Phase 2 is open but I don't think it gets you to Carleton or even downtown in even 40 minutes right now. LRT hasn't improved much though the weaving in and out of construction zones on the western BRT must be slower than the future train. Past there it seems you always take weird detours that end up in Kanata shopping centre gridlock whenever I take the 404 before saying never again until I forget a few months later and try and save $10 and the "parking hassle".
