So 50-60 km/h. And it might have to stop at lights, which is basically just River, but still. If it runs along the rail line or beside Highway 8, they can do the max. speed of the LRV which is 80 km/h. So it's definitely going to be faster.
The difference in time would be 8 min instead of 10 min for that stretch. I'm all for a fast LRT, but 2 min is nothing to worry about, just follow the route that makes more sense given actual and potential usage.... I tend to agree that Hespeler Rd is beyond repair. Few people will take the LRT there for shopping or work. Are there usage figures from the BRT in that stretch of road?
