Why not take a different approach? If Metrolinx is expecting a negligible number of passengers to travel west of Kitchener, it shouldn't be too hard to double the expected number.
1. Find a friend with a car. Have them drive to Stratford while four others take the train there. Even better, find a friend with a school bus license and do the same thing.
2. Talk to the people at the Stratford Festival. Could you arrange for Festival goers to take the train west to catch a show, and then the Festival buses them home? (they already do this for audience members from Toronto).
3. Take a trip to London on Friday evening, stay the weekend, and return Monday morning.
Yes, it's less than ideal for now, but with some creative activism, it could confuse the Metrolinx data!
