The loss has (so far) been fairly marginal. And it's still the densest corridor in the city, with potential for further intensification.

A growing downtown employment node, along with that of McMaster and what the university is trying to develop with the innovation park, are two other prime drivers of future transit use.

Most of the HSR's routes are focused on the downtown, either passing through it or terminating there. A B-Line LRT may offer the opportunity to use a "spine" to optimize transit routes all through the city - those which may connect to the east and west ends of the LRT, as well as those that may intersect it.

When taken from a system-perspective, I have to wonder if the Metrolinx benefits-case has understated the potential of this route.
