LRT stands for Light Rail Transit — a type of urban passenger rail system that operates at a lighter capacity and lower speed than heavy rail (like subways or commuter trains).
In the Kitchener-Waterloo context specifically, LRT refers to the ION Light Rail, which runs through Waterloo and Kitchener — connecting major stops like Conestoga Mall, Uptown Waterloo, Downtown Kitchener, and Fairview Park Mall.
Stage 2 ION will see ION bus converted to light rail, creating a seamless light rail route that stretches from Cambridge to Waterloo.
