I ride viva on weekends on the Yonge/blue line and it's really really packed.
It's one of those 'if you build it, they will come' scenarios. Sooner or later some people are going to realize that taking the bus on hwy 7 is no longer slower than driving.

Yea thoughts of an LRT conversion are so premature, on a route where ridership is likely sub 10,000 per week day ... Purple is only around 6K or so I think.
Anyway, I really hope this will make transit more popular but I'm on the fence regarding whether that will happen. Again I know so many people in the area, the culture is just so different.
My gut feeling is peek weekday ridership has a chance of improving; But off-peak will still be very bad. Maybe 20-30 years from now when Downtown Markham and airport get redeveloped along with Yonge - Hi-way 7 things will change.
