No it won't, for local trips the bus is a very viable option for short trips.
What benefit does the train bring over a bus for the people living south of say 10th st. and the south end of the station is effectively located at 14th st. As soon as the alignment under the river was selected that station made no sense.
You can probably build 5 peace bridges for the cost of that station. So adding a pedestrian bridge option to the centre st underpass or another bridge is a far better option to get people who are down the hill. And depending on where you are you will have bridgeland, sunny side, 14th or 2nd ave within a 1km walk, most will be closer than that.
