Is it always? Unless you grade separate the line so that it avoids the traffic lights that the Transitway line deals with, I'm not sure it will be any faster.

than a separated line going East, that is slower, reaches less population in the same corridor.

Less population? The N-S route was going to have TOD around the line. That's not possible around the Transitway line.

You said it yourself that the 95 is always late. Barrhaven town centre is in the middle of the city, and should be faster using the Transitway than the initially proposed O-Train. If the O-Train replaces the Transitway, in it's own ROW, it will be even faster than the current Transitway numbers, that will crush even more the old O-Train numbers.

You're not making sense here.

Plus the population density is much higher in the Woodroffe corridor.

The Woodroffe corridor is full of large lot single homes with a couple of townhome developments sprinkled in. It is not dense at all until you get north of Baseline.
The N-S line was to be developed for transit. In the developed areas around the line it would have been far denser.

You develop a major plan, that's what you do, and what people here try to do. It's called a vision.

The city did develop a major plan. It was the N-S LRT line. It was vision. What people here try to do is the transportation equivalent of a hockey pool. It's not vision, it's playing around.
