I 100% agree with you, but what would be better... turning west on University, or continuing south on King St and connecting at Waterloo Town Square with Phase 1?

Running south of University Ave on King St would require the trains run in mixed traffic, which could mean delays caused by operating in mixed traffic. However, this section of King is likely to have high enough ridership to warrant a high-capacity service and mixed-traffic operation could be considered worthwhile.

West of the University of Waterloo, rapid transit corridors become less obvious. Columbia, Erb, and University are all candidates.
