I'd love to fly out of YKF, as its a super convenient airport. But I'm willing to put up with YYZ for a direct flight if my alternative is a connection when flying out of YKF (especially if that connection is Chicago in the Winter). The other problem is flexibility. If I'm flying to NYC there are 30 to 40 flights to choose from out of YYZ. Even if YKF offered a direct flight it would have to be at a time that I could make work.
Talking about public transport like a light rail going to the airport is extremely premature. At this point you could probably offer an occasional bus service (maybe timed to the bigger flights) and get the same results for much less money. But even then I doubt adding public transportation adds much to the demand for YKF.
