ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
At around 3PM they managed to get service back on the entire line. Then just a little while ago they cancelled the 5:40PM train from Conestoga to Fairway was cancelled. Then they cancelled the 6:35PM train from Fairway to Market and Market to Fairway. What a shit show.

They also had some trains running in pairs throughout the day to attempt to dislodge the ice because they were too stupid or cheap to invest in separate equipment that could drive along the route to scrape ice or simply apply anti-ice chemical to the wires which the TTC actually does. Why wouldn't they do that here? Just buy a truck or two like this that has the proper equipment and run it along the tracks prior to any storm to apply anti-ice chemicals and then have another couple trucks equipped with some sort of scrapers that could scrape both the tracks and have a tool that can attach to the wires and scrape them.
