Should ion extend to Hespeler along queen st / fergus sub to Hespeler centre?. Should there be a guelph dmu stopping in Hespeler. Hespeler has has the most number of new proposals these days in Cambridge. Theres lots of in construction/ finished projects like riverbanks lofts.
There's minimal ridership in Hespeler. The 203 has less than a 1,000 riders a day on average and because of the high fixed costs, LRTs are more expensive than busses until somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 riders a day, depending on local variables (like employment and electricity vs. diesel costs, for example).
Maybe in the future, though. Proponents of a Hespeler LRT should get back to us when a route through the Hespeler core has hit 3,000 or more riders a day with a history of strong, year after year growth for several years. Then we can start planning.
