Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[tomh009]

I do think that a less congested highway could also enable better-quality bus service between Kitchener and Guelph.

Wider highways do not decrease congestion...

Having another route does give more options for running bus service, but if we wanted to make transit more reliable, transit lanes, or a congestion charge would be more effective.

Yes, in the long run that is correct.

But, in the short run, a dedicated bus lane from Kitchener to Guelph is surely not realistic. Even if we had an hourly bus schedule, it wouldn't really make sense.

I am generally a fan of congestion charging. But I don't think the Kitchener-to-Guelph highway is the right place to introduce it to Ontario.
