ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Even looking at a statement like: "even if LRT2 comes in late September, and they only hit their original cadence" - this doesn't seem like the likely worst case at all.  They've never (?) hit their projected cadence, so I'm don't really have any faith that they'll hit their projected cadence in the future either.

I think it really sucks, to be honest.  It's more time for people to bitch and moan about the LRT.  It's more ammunition for how Government can't do anything right.  Yadda, yadda, yadda.

I agree, and am frustrated by the ammunition to people to complain about government not doing anything right etc.

I acknowledge that Bombardier might not hit their planned cadence....but they are still claiming too be able to do so. Producing 14 trains is easier than 214, and they have in fact hit their planned deliveries for the TTC street car this year.

It is entirely possible they'll continue to miss, but I'm not ready to say that's the case for sure as others seem to be.

@Bob_McBob This is one thing I'm certain we can all agree on.
