What context does this section provide? It seems quite the scattered selection - from the country's largest (Toronto) to a now-defunct service (Iqaluit). It may be better to put together a template of these, for better flexibility and presentation... Radagast 13:43, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
Did Kitchener Transit ever actually run streetcars? My impression was that they were all under the authority of the Grand River Railway and the earlier companies it absorbed, and that there were no further such services after it ceased passenger services. David Arthur 21:26, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
How about a fare table??

What about a section describing the new Universal Bus Pass implemented at Wilfrid Laurier University? 216.16.232.30 18:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)steph
A story in the Record seemed to be edited, but what's this about GRT buses failing inspections? Bacl-presby 16:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
The link to the article at feds.ca/upass is no longer correct. 216.59.247.120 (talk) 01:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
R&T Park (University of Waterloo Research & Technology Park, Hagey Road and Wes Graham Way) The University of Waterloo’s Research and Technology Park station is used mainly by students; the iXpress and GRT's Late Night Loop are the only routes to run on Hagey Boulevard
I use this station, and I can't say that I believe it to be mainly used by students. As I see it, the only students that would be using this stop would be those going to Optometry or to Columbia Icefields. On the other hand, there are several businesses in the R&T Park, such as Sybase, Open Text, those in the Accelerator Centre, and TechTown. If this station is used mainly by students, then I guess I don't see them on my trips. -- timc talk 17:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Just created this (by virtue of it being active in GO's pages now, with services starting Halloween). Please feel free to add improvements as you see fit. Radagast (talk) 02:06, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
If you took this bus today at 12:15pm from Ainslie in Cambridge, you would arrive at Fairview Mall at 12:52pm and at Conestoga Mall at 1:45pm.http://web.grt.ca/HastinfoWeb/RouteSchedules?Date=2017-7-6&RouteDirection=Upward&RoutePublicIdentifier=200&ShowOptions=false&SelectedStopsIdentifiers=
How can we refer to this as rapid transit?? Peter K Burian (talk) 16:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
No such indication here: http://www.grt.ca/en/ion-light-rail.aspx
Also, not according to this: http://www.rideion.ca/what-is-ion.html... Ion will connect with GRT services:
ION is part of a Region-wide transit system that will connect rapid transit with a network of Grand River Transit (GRT) iXpress and local bus routes. ION and GRT will operate with one fare for all services and free transfers between both systems. ION will link to GO Transit, VIA Rail services ....
Peter K Burian (talk) 17:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
This also suggest that Ion is separate from GRT, though both operated by the Region: http://rapidtransit.regionofwaterloo.ca/en/projectinformation/frequentlyaskedquestions.asp
ION will offer residents a new transportation choice: light rail transit (LRT) in two stages Along with Grand River Transit (GRT), ION will create an efficient, integrated, easy-to-use public transit system for all residents in Waterloo Region

So it's clear from the page-top notices that the route description tables are considered too verbose and detailed for this type of article. With numerous changes coming in just a couple weeks' time (due to Ion launch), this seems the ideal moment to re-work that section of the article to present the content in a more concise and compact manner.
I'm going to work on some concepts that I will show here; feel free to add your own or provide feedback. Radagast (talk) 15:11, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
