ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Very unfortunate.  I'm a little miffed that a lot of these design decisions weren't opened up.  I mean, we had consultations for every single other piece of minutia about the project... and then like the biggest one (the trains), they just leave to Regional Staff to make all the big calls (interior and exterior colours, tones, alerts, voices, etc.).  Really would have appreciated being given the opportunity to provide some feedback. The part that excites me most when I visit a new city about their transit system is what it looks like, feels like, sounds like. I sat on platforms in Japan for cumulative hours just watching and listening (and smiling).

The "new design" is just such a let down to me.  Like they went 90% of the way and then just gave up.  It just looks so wrong.
