I've used the Canada Line the last two times I flew to Vancouver, and it was extremely convenient. I'm not sure there's any city in North America (including NYC) where it's that easy to get to the heart of your city from the airport. I definitely see how there are other options that would give you more bang for your dollar, but I thought it was a great addition to the city. Even if Calgary chooses to focus on other transit aspects in the immediate future, at some point it will definitely make sense to link the airport to the train.
In the meantime, can we get rid of the airport Taxi monopoly at least? Time to get some Car 2 Go's there.
