It is the most important destination.

I'm talking about the original E-W line that pushed for that section of rail to go back full speed. This was part of the rationale. To be realistic would be to continue using the changes that were to be put in place.
Because you don't go to a stop 10 minutes in advances. They took the average between two trains. Because they haven't made the case for destinations, only for a trival downtown station. People working at the hospitals and the area, and if a bigger network would have been in place, it would have saved even more time.
It was not that the route would not have been popular, it was there was no room to grow after a certain point, and conversion of the corridor was mandatory, oh my, just like the Mayor's Task report suggested. This was the point for the original O-Train link, except in this case, there's no need to tear up the tracks and start over again.
