ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I never know if you guys are just dreaming (hitch is obviously totally fine and interesting) or actually think some of these things make sense.

A LRT line with regular and off peak service to the airport or Breslau is just not going to happen for decades, if ever.

It would be awesome (well, not from a financial point of view) but there's no way the demand would be anywhere close. Breslau doesn't even have a single bus route. And the reality is if you live in Breslau you probably own a car and it's not that painful to drive places - so the incentive to take public transportation isn't very big.

And the airport is nowhere close to having the demand to justify the cost for miles of extra track through a low density rural area. Not to mention It is easy to drive to and has excellent parking options.
