Are we going to have to buy different tickets to get on the ION? I haven't used the bus system in years but I would hope that the same cash fare gets me 2 hours of riding on any mode of transit. I was actually more of a fan of just calling all of it GRT and not having ION or iXpress or any other branding.

I would like ION and iXpress to be separate things still. ION is for rapid transit (LRT and aBRT), while iXpress is for frequent limited stop bus routes.

I asked about the busses/branding and was told it is still being finalized.

Is the unusual structure in the front parking lot at Fairview related to LRT or is that a separate project?

That tunnel looks narrow, but it's wide enough for two sets of track?

Keep in mind that the width necessary for LRT is quite a bit less than for regular rail.

The tunnel is large enough for 2 tracks - this is by design, of course. Light Rail has a narrower loading gauge than heavy rail. Not as small as VAL or ICTS, though...
