The urban areas of the Grand River Watershed (Waterloo-Kitchener-Cambridge, Guelph, and Brantford), although close in proximity, do not have efficient (if any) transit links between them. Transit users have been vocal for years about poor connectivity between our communities. GO Transit service, although available in all the urban areas, is not geared towards these local transit connections and is not meeting the needs of transit users who need local connections. The loss of Greyhound services has exacerbated already lacking intercommunity transit options. Missing urban-urban transit connections are also roadblocks to potential users of the rural transit services.

By implementing a frequent transit connection, the Region of Waterloo, Guelph, and Brantford can improve inter-city mobility of their residents, reduce traffic emissions, increase tourism, and allow more people to work and study in neighbouring cities.
