ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Does anybody know if they’re even ticketing? Not that I’m opposed to towing, especially now that we apparently (almost) have a vehicle ready to drive, but it seems like a ticketing blitz would be a good way to start. Just assign a bylaw officer to drive up and down the line ticketing every vehicle on the tracks. Pretty quickly people would understand that they really mustn’t park on the tracks.

It occurs to me that the LRVs should have cameras on them as well for the purpose of ticketing. If a vehicle is parked or even stopped where it impedes the LRV, it should be subject to a fine of something like $1/s for as long as the LRV is unable to proceed (fines for stopping in the LRV lane when there is no LRV should be more normal levels of fine of course).
