Regional and Intercity Bus\Rail Transportation

[originalmuffins]

Very curious what will come of the Catherine street terminal, I'm hoping we see some decent height and actual mixed use.

I also agree that Via/Tremblay would be a great place to centre a redevelopment/expansion for a hub.
3 reasons IMO:

1. Proximity to Hurdman, it isn't too hard to have Tremblay continuously connected to Hurdman via bus (which is fairly simple to keep running).

2. Greater connection between the Via Tremblay Terminal and Bus Terminal, so one can easily find alternatives if their method of transportation doesn't work out (bus cancelllation, go with the train and vice versa).

3. It can connect the major bus terminal to VIA/Fallowfield. I was just tinkering with it, and if someone is willing to go via bus - they can actually do a train connection to Tremblay from Fallowfield if they're coming from the West (Also kind of interesting because I think Via should advertise that route, it's a unique intercity route within the Via Rail network especially for patrons needing to get to St. Laurent area from Algonquin/Barrhaven - it's a 20 minute ride so kinda cool to think about).


Only negative is this wouldn't have a great connection with the airport (which would be useful for users of direct buses to Cornwall, Brockville, etc) but that might not even be necessary at the moment.
