ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
I love trains as much as the next guy, but do you guys not believe that implementing a bus first (1-2 million total) to prove the route is worth investing in before investing tens of millions in a train is preferable? I would also think there is a time advantage, there could probably be a bus tomorrow, if we wanted, a train would take years even for a quick and dirty implementation.

The only reason we don't have a bus, AFAIK is that Guelph is not in the Region of Waterloo and there are jurisdictional issues.

Of course, we've also had a failed attempt at a KW<->Guelph service, although read into that as you will.

(There's also Greyhound, but frankly, I read even less into their cut-rate service than the other).
