ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

This horse is quite dead so I really think we should stop beating it.

But the choice was not between a surface LRT and a subway, it was a surface LRT or nothing (or a BRT), a subway was not a viable option politically or financially. And, for that matter, if we had gone with a BRT, I expect the number of collisions and fatalities would have been similar as well.
