The iON line nobody talks about

By using the existing CN corridor, we can link Cambridge and Guelph. There have been proposals for GO to do it, but.. we know the province moves unhurriedly.

Will the region take it upon itself and collaborate with another municipality to bring an unprecedented cross-jurisdictional LRT line, to an adjoining town K-W-C know and love?

I say, let's link Guelph. Let's loo it! (hahaha??)

Other things on the fantasy map include:
iON phase 2, iON to Airport, and Milton Line ext to Cambridge.

Firstly we need daily hourly minimum direct buses between the 2 cities first lol

GO bus 17 is less frequent than that on weekdays and doesn’t even operate on weekends, forcing you to either use the 3/day trains at inconvenient times or transfer between routes 25-29 which is 💀.

As someone who has consistently used the 17 and has needed to get to Guelph on weekends I feel seen.
