Not rail, just glorified buses on steel wheels.

No, it goes through Kennedy (low density but it's decent), the new Nordel-88 area businesses, industrial areas along 128 St. (hey, it has to go to where people work), Newton, Cloverdale, into the heart of Langley. It's a bit far from Kwantlen's Newton campus at 1500m but it's close to the Cloverdale and Langley campuses, and would also reach University of Fraser Valley in the Abbotsford extension. I think the Interurban makes a lot of sense South of Fraser. I mean it's just like Skytrain, you can't hit every major centre in the city.
