(Jon, 2010) 

While searching online, I found the proposed route the future LRT. This route will replace some of the existing iXpress routes within Waterloo Region. With this new route, the LRT will essentially be faster than the current bussing system that is in place, and it will be able to hold more people. Up to 200 passengers would be able to fit into one LRT train. This all sounds great, a faster, higher capacity public transit system. This idea sounds great, but is it really the best for Waterloo Region? the cost of the project is predicted to be $818 million(Waterloo Region ,2014), but most likely it will go over costs and maybe cost over $1 billion.
