ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
NHK World News recently released this short documentary on an LRT system that just recently opened 3 months ago in Utsunomiya in Japan. It gives you a cool look at how similar they approached an LRT system, but also how drastically different they did things in terms of things like design or the impact on urban planning/development.

They had 4 crashes within the first month if I recall...haha.

Worth a watch if you have 30 minutes to waste and can tolerate the narrator that sounds like she's selling soap on a 1998 early morning infomercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFQlDG9SFqE
