ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Ottawa is opening a short two-station section (I think) of their LRT first, for the Canada 150 celebration, with the whole system opening later. When the Skytrain opened in Vancouver, they opened actually just one station first, and gave people rides for a few months out and back along the guideway, so they could try out the system until it was complete.

It would be my dream that something like that could happen here too, along the Waterloo spur. Offer free rides between Northfield and R&T Park on weekends or something, just to at least give us something to experience and "preview" the system. Since the FLEXITY Freedom testing is set to happen along this stretch anyway, I could actually imagine that happening!
