The project, consisting of 36 kilometres of both light-rail and rapid bus lines, will link the area's three major cities -- Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo.
A 19-kilometre light-rail line will run from the Conestoga Mall in Waterloo to the Fairview Park Mall in Kitchener. A 17-kilometre bus rapid transit route will also run from Kitchener's Fairview Park Mall to the Ainslie Street Terminal in Cambridge.
Increasing public transit is a part of Ontario's plan to improve air quality and strengthen the economy. A strong economy creates jobs for Ontarians and protects the services that mean most to families - health care and education.
