You're right Canard, Guelph's bus system is mediocre at best. Their system is designed to get students around the city and not their normal citizen base (which is a very car-centric population, ask anyone who lives there that isn't a student), however it's what works for them for now.
I always thought that a loop might be cool for a dream LRT route linking Cambridge, Kitchener, Guelph - from Hespeler / Eagle-Pinebush through Hespeler to the train tracks which lead directly to downtown Guelph then loop back down Highway 7 to Victoria to the future Intermodal Transit Terminal. Some of you might remember a 'Intercity connection' from Hespeler to Guelph back when there was a push to have a Monorail system built instead of LRT, that's going back many of years however. I might still have the maps saved on one of my old desktops that's collecting dust somewhere.
