Do not eliminate the 82!
It's the bus a lot of people, including me, use to get from Islington to our jobs in the Meadowvale North office park, which includes Microsoft, Dupont, Siemens, RBC, Glaxo, Psion Teklogix, and a lot of other companies. It's crowded around rush hour as well; so crowded that I usually take a later bus. The route was put in to serve the Royal Bank building when it was built; my impression is that it was possible because buses on routes going the other direction had to be returned to their starting points anyways, so why not carry a few people while they're at it?
The alternative would be to go to Kipling and take the Milton Line to Meadowvale GO station, and then backtrack locally on MT. Unfortunately, reaching the Meadowvale GO station from Derry and Mississauga Road is so awkward via MT that it's easier to take a cab or walk. Maybe that will be an easier and faster solution when GO moves to all-day both-direction service on the Milton Line, but today, no.
