No person is driving all the way from Toronto is going to park to avoid Kitchener parking and traffic. The only reason people do that in Toronto is parking is expensive and driving is bad and I think we are more likely to convince Preston to embrace the LRT than we are to make driving and parking expensive or difficult downtown.
I assumed he meant people taking the bus to K-W. You are correct that people driving into town would not use such an amenity.
I think there is a lot to be said for the idea of a bus terminal at Sportsworld, with the LRT extending to there. Then a London-to-Toronto bus, for example, could pop off the 401, up to Sportsworld, and back on to the 401 quickly, and people could take the LRT into K/W. Or iXpress down into Cambridge.
