I believe the Elmira bus service is still a township paid service. GRT is paid for by the cities (Kitchener, Cambridge, Waterloo). The townships tax do not get levied taxes for GRT, hence they get no service. Elmira pays for its bus service as an exception. For them to get more service, the township would have to pay more, or choose to be levied for the GRT. The leadership and voters would have to make that choice. I don't think it's a GRT decision.
I believe GRT is one of the few Region of Waterloo services that has a differential levy treatment. (LRT/ION is also not levied on the townships)
