Are there any plans in the future to expand it to Horseshoe Bay because that "express" bus is an overcrowded nightmare for the same reason. Too many people using it to shuttle to and from the core and Park Royal while people with luggage heading to the ferries struggle to squeeze on it.
No to the ferry connection plans. Ferry schedules are simply too infrequent and SkyTrain too expensive for it to be worth it. It would be like $4 billion to extend 25,000 pphpd capacity to a place that probably sees that in a week.
