ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Thisssssssssssssss s s s s s!

I will always say that, given an equal hourly capacity, little trains at high frequency > big trains at low frequency.

This is at the core of VAL and ICTS (and tramways, too, which can operate trains close together), and part of why I love them so much.

(I went to go insert a video I think I've shared before, showing sub-minute headways on the Lille VAL, but I think it's been removed from YouTube.)
