Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[Canard]

Guelph transit is horrible. I took it once. My commute (driving) from downtown Kitchener (Kaufman Lofts) to the industrial park on the South end (where Sleeman's is) was 25 minutes. The Guelph bus took almost an hour just from downtown Guelph to get to my office, and it only ran something like once per hour. I can't even imagine how long it would take if you factored in an inter-city train ride as well as transit connections inside Kitchener.

Highway is the right move for right now; but in the future, once both cities have the urban density and proper internal transportation to support it, then I could see some sort of higher-frequency interurban running between them.

Doing it now would be a white elephant*.
