Sending the route to the ferry would instantly guarantee enough riders to justify weekend service, regardless of whether it goes to the mall or not.

The only reason I don't like the idea of sending it to the mall is because of traffic on Rockland (the whole stretch east of Forest Hill Rd), which would delay the core ridership north of Seaview. Maybe a few trippers coming out of Yukon to help the Wagner kids (since they'd have to deadhead anyway), but that's about it.

Weekends, traffic usually isn't too bad, though. The only problem is the confusion of having weekend trips start from the mall while weekday trips start from Seaview. Unless a token amount of trips covered. The mall during the week, but the S54 would still run on coverage-level headways anyway, so it's almost all-or-nothing.
