This is 100% about will, and 0% about ability, there is no reason that Metrolinx or GRT or GT couldn't start running a bus between the cities literally tomorrow.
I’m very skeptical of the value of a long east-west LRT line that goes all the way to Guelph.
But that’s one more reason it’s irritating we’re not running bus lines now. Let’s get some numbers. Build demand. Actually provide incentives for people to consider non-car options from the subdivisions along the way.
At best the demand is there and we just have to develop it. At worst it never materializes (without a lot more incentives). Either way it’s ridiculous not to have an easy to implement option like regular busses.
