While not provincial law (see here), it certainly is currently GRT policy.

I really hope that they revise that policy once ION is up and running.

Imagine buses pulling up to the tracks... slowing... stopping... looking... letting go of the brake... and then the signal bells start! Does the driver slam back on the brake? Do they just go? Either way, it's not great for the passengers. The current status quo only works because trains are so infrequent, that such scenarios are unlikely.
