I would run it from Mohawk College to Upper James via Fennell (tons of dense apartments and the Mt Plaza Mall there). Then run it south on Upper James to Mohawk and along Mohawk to Upper Wentworth. Again, as far as Mountain arterials go, that stretch of Upper James and portion of Mohawk has a ton of apartments and density.
I'm not saying to remove all bus service from Upper James for folks who want to head there, but based on the density of Fennell/Upper James N of Mohawk and Mohawk from Upper James to the main hub - Limeridge Mall, the ridership potential is fantastic. Much more so than the ever lowering density, mega parking lots along Upper James the further south one goes from Mohawk.
The density along this corridor is much greater than people realize when flying by in their cars. And the massive width of the roadway would actually allow for curb bus lanes while still leaving 2 lanes for cars each way if we re-painted the lanes to a more common 9.5 feet width.

Upper James north of Mohawk. Not massive density, but much higher than the rest of Upper James. Retail built close to the street as well ala mid 20th Century.

Mohawk Road very impressive density between Upper James and Upper Wentworth:

Compared with further south along Upper James. Transit isn't equal. It works best in areas with higher densities and walkable streets.
