How is the purple line meant to integrate?

there were funds to design the connection to the station in inglewood as BRT, no idea the status of that.

Is the purple line the airport spur line?

Thinking past this... How is the purple line meant to integrate? Is it meant to join the Green Line at Crossroads? From day 1 I think the Purple Line ridership with be huge even just from where the BRT runs today.

RouteAhead documents provide more details about costs and possible ridership increases:

But there isn't any plans for the Purple Line to extend farther west than downtown and both possible extension west and east have a low benefit score.

I think this is referring to the Max Purple busway, which was designed to eventually accommodate LRT.

The busway starts near where 9 Ave crosses under Blackfoot Trail. That's not too far from the Inglewood/Ramsay green line station, but it's also on the other side of Blackfoot and a bunch of railway tracks, so it's not clear to me how the two would connect.
