Deerfoot is a gong show. I know it's bad up north as well, but I kind of think that the south and north legs would probably be close to equal in ridership, so all things being equal, the south needs a second line before the north needs a third.

Hope I didn't just set off a north/south civic war.
I don't think the point is really about traffic or potential riders, but existing Transit ridership - which is WAY higher in the North Central than the SE. It's easy for the line to be successful because the Transit ridership along Centre Street is proven - it's the highest ridership Bus corridor in the City.
