At some point, commuter trains with very limited stops become much more effective than metros with many stops as distances get longer and longer. Unfortunately, we ripped up almost all our useful rail infrastructure because of the Greber Plan that could have potentially served for commuter trains. If the Confederation Line ever reaches Stittsville, it will be significantly slower than an express bus was in the past. This was mentioned in recent story about Gio Petti and his video about Line 2 Riverside South. Line 2's advantage is its dependability not it's speed, but also complains about the poor connectivity within Riverside South from the train unless a car can take you to the station..
