They fairly reasonably analyze our transit system and correctly point out our strengths and weaknesses (like our LRVs operating too slowly).
Notably none of the regions was rated better than a B. Waterloo Region lost most of its points because of lack of (base and high-frequency) coverage: only 15% of residents are within walking distance of every-15-minutes transit service, and 85% of any transit at all. Frequency of service, not speed of LRT of buses, would be the big win on their score card.
Generally I agree,
I just thought it was interesting that they called out the LRVs travelling too slowly. And that's also something that costs the region nothing to fix...it's more waste than lack of investment.
