It'll make downtown Kitchener easily accessible for downtown Waterloo residents, and vice versa. That is not so much the case now, so it still adds to the critical mass of customers for businesses.

Something along the lines of the old "8-loop" bus route would be good, but really need to focus on areas where there will be (or already is) intensification, and thus enough passengers.
