My Uber comment was tounge in cheek. If it's 25% of the line cost to connect 400m of track downtown, is it really worth it or could this be spent elsewhere to increase transit reach?

More like 700m to get to City Hall station (unless you're a flying crow) plus no one is getting on an inbound train on one of the existing lines at that station in the morning, let alone a significant number of transfers from a train. During the evening rush hour, Green Line riders become riders of the other two lines along 7th to get to City Hall to then walk 700m to the Green Line terminus.
Maybe I'm bonkers, but bringing riders to the outer fringes of the area you're trying to collect and drop off the majority of your riders seems absurd. Maybe they could terminate the East and West legs of the Blue Line at the fringes and use either the imagined bus loop or walk to the nearest station along 7th?
