ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

I think that may have been the original plan, but they saved a couple thousand per train by piggybacking off of Metrolinx.

Perhaps then you could say the region was being "more penny wise and pound foolish".

I really get the feeling if this isn't up any running by May 1st, lots of politicians are going to feel lots of hurt come election time.
