Waterloo is arguably part of greater Toronto. The local commuter service (Go Transit) reaches all the way to Kitchener-Waterloo.
I say "arguably" because it's a two-hour train ride each way, which is pretty brutal.
- votr 10y agoIf Waterloo is part of Toronto, you may as well count in Hamilton, Oakville, and Milton as well. Hell, throw in Niagara Falls.
- kmanraj 10y agoThose cities are actually part of a geographic region called the Golden Horseshoe Area, which is more comparable to Census Statistical Areas in the US (like the SF Bay Area, Baltimore-Washington Area, and Chicagoland).
- astrodust 10y agoIt's called the "Greater Toronto Area" for a reason.
- AzzieElbab 10y agoWaterloo is over 100km away from Toronto
- barkingcat 10y agoNo Waterloo is not and will not call itself a part of greater Toronto. It's like saying Baltimore is a part of DC (just a little bit closer), or like saying Philadelphia is a part of New York City (just a little bit farther). Kitchener-Waterloo is a distinct town, and is a part of the original Canadian "Tech Triangle" - with the demise of RIM/Blackberry, it's lost the lustre but there's no way anyone can take seriously bundling Waterloo into the Greater Toronto Area.
- draw_down 10y agoBad example, Baltimore and DC are usually considered part of the same metro area.
