What If Stage 2 ION were a BRT and GO RER instead?
Features:
Bus
-Dedicated busway on South side of 401, industrial rail spur
-Queue jump lanes on Homer Watson Blvd, Hespeler Rd, River Rd Extension, and King St
-Intercity bus terminal moved to the 401/Highway 8 interchange
GO RER
-15 Minute frequency between Downtown Galt and Downtown Hespeler
-30 Minute frequency between Downtown Galt and Guelph
This would of course require the MTO to give up 2 lanes of the 401, so the dedicated busway would probably not happen
