GO serves only the city centres, and is not likely to be better than hourly for quite some time. I'm suggesting a local route that's much more about connecting the areas on Victoria and Woodlawn with each other and with the two city centres.
As for demand, I think it could be there and it would also be a corridor that could be intensified. But the best way to measure demand is to create the route as a bus first.

If an alignment went along Woodlawn, to downtown, and then to U of G, you would cover quite a lot even in the absence of other routes. But at any rate, the quality of a transit system is something that can be changed.
