As much as I would love a SE LRT line, the 302 as it runs now isn't ever truly full. Maybe 1 day in 10 that I ride it I share a seat or see those that get on close to downtown standing.
I guess if you took into account all the express buses from the deep SE it might be a bit more, but they run what 3 or 4 buses per rush hour? The 117 in Mackenzie Towne on a very bad day might have 1 or 2 people standing for the last bus of the morning.
I know it isn't a good idea to wait until these buses are overflowing to start building the c-train line but they could easily add 1 or 2 more express buses per rush hour and have the 302 run a bit more often to scale up to hold up to twice the riders.
I don't see the population growing that much down here in the next 5 years to tax that potential. I would be surprised if we saw anything started or even firmly announced in the next 5 years.
