ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[KevinT]

When I commuted from Cambridge to UW, to save the cost of on-campus parking, I parked at Conestoga Mall and took the iXpress to campus for free.  There were usually others doing the same thing.

Exactly, you were motivated by the inconvenience and expense of parking.  Out of curiosity, why Conestoga and not Fairway....or Sportsworld...or even somewhere in Cambridge....at Conestoga, seems like you've already driven past UW.

It's a short iXpress ride to UW from Conestoga, which is highly accessible from the expressway, so it doesn't tack much extra time onto the commute.  Fairway or Cambridge are a much larger time penalty.
