15 months of inconvenience for 20 years of improved service. Sounds like a pretty good trade-off to me.

You also have to think about tons and tons of people get off at Metro station to take other buses. There is no49, 130 (Goes to BCIT, HASTING), 430(goes to richmond), 144(SFU), 106 (New West) just to name a few and these are very very popular buses.
Not to mention what about people with disability who lives near Metrotown and needs to use the skytrain.
Have you been to the New West station when they shut it down(at least shut down partway) so new bus loop, apartments and shopping centers can be built around it? It was chaos and New West is not as big as a station as Metro so I expect this to be worse.
What tgill pointed out I don't think it will work, there is simply too many passenger and during rush hour it will slow the heck of the whole system down.
