In late October, the Waterloo Public Transportation Initiative (WPTI) welcomed over 10 students from the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences for a week-long exchange. During the week, students collaborated to develop ideas and identify best practices for the ongoing Region of Waterloo Light Rail Transit project.
As part of the exchange, Holger Wagensommer, a senior engineer with VB Karlsruhe — the transit agency in Karlsruhe, Germany — provided a public lecture on the German best practices for light rail transit.
