As much as I understand the complaints about crowding at peak hours on many Corridors, what exactly is the insufferable hardship here? That a few dozen students in Waterloo have to take the bus every hour to Bramalea to transfer into a train rather than having one of these connections every 4 hours replaced by extending one of these hourly trains to Kitchener, which would still take students traveling between Laurier University and any GO train station along the Kitchener corridor the same travel time (approx. 2h20) and the same number of transfers (i.e. 1)?
I habe no doubt that the service levels from last autumn (which, as we have already established, were the most frequent ever offered) will get permanently restored soon, but I don’t understand why restoring mid-day service to Kitchener would be such a high priority compared to much more glaring gaps across the network…
