ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
The LRT is still down. I was hoping to catch it around 3PM but then I overheard the "major service disruption" announcement. I had to take the 7 and it was jammed pack with kids leaving KCI. Ended up getting off near Benton/Frederick and just taking the 1 since I was heading to Fairview Station and it takes about the same time.

I'm going to guess it won't be operational until tomorrow. I wonder if they had any trains out today. The last time there was a lot of ice, I spotted a couple LRVs coupled together - not in service but just driving the route to clear the ice. Why they wouldn't invest in a vehicle on rails that could scrape it off the wires and tracks is beyond me. This is Canada after all... I wonder how Line 5 and Line 6 in Toronto will fare when those open up.
