"Nadine Ibrahim, who holds the Turkstra Chair in Urban Engineering at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, says, 'If you look at it from an environmental perspective, the fuel used in trains versus the fuel used in planes or cars, it’s automatically a better option. It’s a larger number of people moved in a more sustainable manner.' Prof. Ibrahim, for one, would like an efficient rail connection between À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, where she works, and Toronto, where she lives. As it is, she leaves home at 6 a.m. to beat the nightmarish traffic on Highway 401. Even a limited light-rail project, such as Kitchener-À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s new ION line (), has made a huge improvement in students’ lives, she says: 'It’s made things much more affordable for students who can now live a little bit farther away and still get to school.'"
