ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Exactly my point. Although I would use as my example some vehicle being driven incompetently by somebody who probably shouldn’t have a drivers’ license and who can’t even be counted on to stay in their lane, rather than a probably-competent bus driver. By contrast, the LRVs will never deviate whatsoever from their course, so staying away from the tracks (not even very far) will guarantee no danger, something that is not true of a road.
