General Urban Kitchener Updates and Rumours

[Momo26]

100% would like to see some other loop LRT

Sure! Once other routes have the ridership to make an LRT worth while. None currently do, however. Not even pre-pandemic. That's basically the reason why we're waiting for ION stage 2.

or how I've putt it before, 6 to 8 'tentacles' (leaning towards 8 if not more), that reach out and bring people to node stops on the line.

In K-W the only routes that do not connect to an ION are 36 and 76 down in Doon/Pioneer Park.

As it stands I need to take 2 busses and the LRT to get DTK proper (1h15m one way trip assuming zero delays, can shave off 15mins occassionally if one of the bus drivers is kind enough to make a particular stop on an express run - even then no guarentee).

It sounds like you live in somewhere on the fringes, like to the south and/or east of Cambridge, as even Doon South in Kitchener, a badly connected area, is less than an hour from DTK by the bus schedules.

Hehe ;/ 

As I said, 2 busses and the LRT....and only 'under a hour' coming back if last driver makes an unscheduled stop . 

Btw...to where my company is moving, still withinthe borders of K-W, it is (short walk) -> bus -> bus -> entire LRT line ride -> bus -> long ass walk. Literally, I kid you not, 1h46min. 

It literally suggests I drive part of that trip on the PREFERRED Google Maps PUBLIC transit directions (ranks that higher). Ahaha *sigh*.
