Haydon will be speaking about his many years of experience running a transit
system much larger than that in Waterloo Region. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Ottawa</st1:place></st1:City>’s innovative system has proven
that buses are far cheaper, more flexible and more efficient than the expensive
rail system proposed by regional council. I think you will find his talk of
great significance. Other speakers will provide additional detail on the
specifics of Waterloo Region’s situation. There will also be an
opportunity to ask questions. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

for Sensible Transit is a local group with a broad representation from across
the spectrum – business people, professionals, taxpayers – who
believe an $800 million LRT system is the wrong choice for Waterloo Region. We
are concerned about the high cost and damage that will be done to <st1:Street

as the fact a massive LRT system is inappropriate for our region. Improved bus
