The A-line could work if all-day GO service/electricifcation is successful and they don't bother going past Mohawk... maybe Rymal at the extreme. Ditch the waste-of-money trip to the airport until a future upgrade. It would service both St. Joe's campuses (campi?) the GO station, the rapidly-intensifying James North neighborhood, and Mohawk College (which the IBI report identified as a major transit centre). Make a deal with some of the ever-empty parking lots at Upper James and Mohawk for a park-and-ride lot.

Run it along Barton instead of going to the Harbourfront until its storage at Sanford and you'll capture some of that massive #2 ridership.

The Mountain Plaza Mall isn't Eastgate, and Mohawk isn't Mac. It's not ideal, and it would take a lot more work than the instant-win B-line, but there are factors that could make the A-line workable.
