General University Area Updates and Rumours

Yeah, if it’s a 15 minute drive to the nearest bus stop, I can’t imagine it’d be a reasonable cycling distance from UW. 

I can't imagine anywhere in Kitchener or Waterloo where it would take a 15-minute drive to the nearest bus stop, so I assume Bjays93 is living somewhere in the townships. Which means the issue is not really how our cities are built but where each person chooses to live.

Many people don't exactly get to choose where to live, at least not in a reasonable sense. That's not completely down to how our cities are built, but it is a factor.

I think it's also reasonable to argue that a city built with car dependency affects nearby areas/towns. If KW was a compact transit friendly city, I bet places like New Hamburg would be served with higher quality transit connections to KW too.
