Rural Commuter Rail

[acottawa]

There is probably an alternative history of Ottawa where commuter rail was used to connect Barrhaven and Kanata, but the city is too far invested in LRT and busways to switch modes at this point.

I don’t know where people got the idea that GO Transit is for rural transportation services. Except the Stouville line, the endpoints of the GO system are large cities with hundreds of thousands of residents. Ottawa has no such satellite cities.
