ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I hopped on the 7 this morning and despite everyone constantly yelling to the driver that they can't move back and further, the idiot kept stopping to pick up more people. Eventually some woman fell over because she had nothing to hold onto.

I know they dispatch the 301R but they never think to add extra 7 or 8 mainline buses.

Who is on the hook for running the 310R buses? Is it a one-to-one capacity replacement, or one-to-one vehicle replacements?

Adding an 7 or 8 mainline bus might seem like an easy fix, but I don't imagine that GRT happens to have a huge number of buses sitting idle waiting to fill in, nor are they able to pull buses easily from different routes to take up the slack.
