I understand that ION and GRT are two seperate entities. I continue to ask why?
Depends what you mean. Operation and maintenance of ION is contracted out, along with the construction. But as far as riders will be concerned, it will be a single integrated system with one fare. If GRT contracted out the operation of each bus route to a separate company you would not then say that our transit system consisted of 20 (or however many) separate entities, even if that many organizations were involved in running it.
