So, in conclusion, the priority should be something like 8th Avenue subway, NC LRT, airport spur, and then SE LRT.

12 million passengers a year so I think a very conservative estimate would be 6 million a year that might take the train showing about 16000 a day.
The two other lines get 260000 a day between them or slightly less than ten times the ridership on each line that might go to the airport. I can't imagine that 50% of people will take the train to the airport if it is available. On top of that, is your 12 million number based on flights that start or stop in Calgary or does it also include the people who transfer through Calgary without ever leaving the airport?
