If airport LRT is only a spur line (requiring change trains at Saddletowne) then it's totally pointless IMO. I suppose ridership numbers would tell the story between future stop(s) beyond Saddletowne vs. airport, but if a train change is involved, then it would only shave a few minutes off the current 40-50 min bus ride...and it's hardly any different than the current bus shuttle to Saddletowne.
I'd rather just add an express bus service from airport to City Hall station. Use the money to add HOV lanes for the entire north half of Deerfoot (should be relatively straightforward compared to all of the bridges in the south.

The Airport will likely be served from the north central portion of the Green Line.
