In addition to, of course, the GO Kitchener line trains. It may be inadequate, but it's not non-existent.
Edit: Unless you mean Cambridge-Guelph specifically, which yes, is lacking. (It's hard to tell, because a similar point was made in the Hwy 7 thread.)
GO route 17 is painfully slow getting into Guelph. Moving between the universities and Guelph Central takes up a literal hour, or three times longer than the train travel time between Kitchener GO and Guelph Central. Adding additional rail service is leaps and bounds better for the speed alone.
That's not an apples-to-apples comparison, though: from Victoria/Frederick to Guelph Central seems to be about 32-34 minutes.
If you want to compare train travel time then you need to add the 15 minutes (plus connection time) for the LRT as well--or the bus ride from Laurier.
