Please do better.  If I want to take the 401 to Pearson, I will drive or take a limo service..

The bus is likely significantly less expensive than either limo or parking at the airport. And Airways Transit has transmogrified themselves into a limo service, too.

That said, while the bus could be used to connect between the two airports, I don't know what the real use case is for that. What kind of flight combinations would merit that?

I don't think anyone would fly into Pearson and bus to Hamilton or Kitchener to catch another flight or vice versa.

The cynic in me thinks it's a predatory move by Air Canada as they don't service either of these airports.

I think the target audience would be occasional flyers using Rouge or Air Canada out of Pearson and this offers them an easy (maybe cheap?) way to get to Pearson. I think frequent flyers or business travellers already have established methods for getting to Pearson so they are unlikely to change those habits.
