Of the seven Columbia student residences, two are downtown, three are on Main West and the two mountain residences are served by the 33 Sanitorium bus, which the students take downtown before transferring onto the Main/King bus routes. The buses are crowded with Columbia students going downtown in the afternoon.

I don't know where you get your information about where Mac students and staff live ((only a relatively small proportion live in Westdale), but many McMaster undergraduate students currently take the King/Main buses (they are jam packed in the mornings), many graduate students live downtown, and many others live in the GTA and would be able to get the Mac by transferring from the proposed all-day Go buses to the LRT. And, of course, LRT would encourage even more students and staff to live near the line.

Students also travel downtown for shopping and entertainment and there will be increasing traffic between McMaster's four sites in Hamilton (Main Campus in Westdale, Innovation Park at Longwood, Downtown campus and new Medical Campus all of which are directly along the LRT route).
