I think GO communters need to make these points known. The bus service isn't all that bad and in some ways, is even preferred. The immediate benefits of LRT to me, would seem far greater than all day GO service. For one, we have GO service all day - just in a bit of a round-about way outside of the rush hour time frame.

Although I guess you could counter-argue as well that we have bus service within the city, adding internal rail service to replace bus transit would do so much more for this city and across it, than replacing bus service for rail service in and out of Hamilton.

With the former, at least the train will finally pass through Hamilton. A stop(s), can be added at any time although I agree with others, I am not sure why this is a one or the other scenerio? Imagine if we could have both in time for the 2015 games. How would that set us up on the world stage as a city with a strong inter-city train service and a promising new internal service.
