Sounds great.
I live right downtown - a literal golf shot from Lyon Station, two stops away from the new line - and OC Transpo's own trip planner consistently tells me I'm best to just skip the new airport train altogether and keep taking the bus.
...to be fair, OC Transpo's planner is leaving out the frequency with which a scheduled bus simply never shows up, but that's a whole other kettle of wax.
I miss the Skytrain. I can get from New West to Waterfront to YVR in the same time it takes OC Transpo's new airport line to get me from downtown to YOW.
Heck, I miss the old Ottawa Airport bus, which was downtown to YOW in half the time the train now takes.
