It's not the amount of people in a city, but rather the number of people in a catchment area.

There's no reason why LRT in Surrey down King George can't happen in addition to the UBC line.

Commuter Rail isn't a good idea to connect White Rock to Downtown. They already have an express coach on a more direct route doing that. It should be more about connecting Surrey to its parts (Newton, White Rock, Fleetwood, Whalley, Guildford) than connecting Surrey with Vancouver.

White Rock is the kits of Surrey. Lots of people go down there from Surrey and the surrounding area. The corridor is absolutely perfect for LRT and it would improve King George as well.

Surrey's original plan of an L-shaped LRT is a better use of funds than a SkyTrain extension.
