If they used old studies, the data would, undoubtedly be less compelling. That previous study was more along the lines of "is LRT or Buses or a Subway best?"
It, unfortunately, didn't really apply to current contexts.

If I remember correctly, a
SkyTrain to Arbutus and rapid bus from Arbutus to UBC would have raked in
125,000-150,000 riders while
LRT would have brought in
150,000. And with
rapid bus, or a fancier B-Line, less than 100,000.
The numbers for SkyTrain all the way to UBC would be enormously high, as we all already know, with the only previous study only having SkyTrain up to Arbutus, with the introduction of the U-Pass and all other ridership growth since the study was done.
