If it speeds up the current bus trips substantially, it may (e.g., GO's 407 route that comes into downtown and to Mac). I can't imagine it having a huge impact; that's still a long trek on a bus and the connecting services at the work destination end matter too. But it improves that option. Might get more people coming into Hamilton for work opportunities too.
It may also impact mode choice for those who currently drive -- worsening highway traffic may just get them to transfer to a bus at a park and ride lot in Burlington, if it saves time, if schedules are friendly, and if connecting transport to the workplace is available.
