ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(04-17-2018, 07:11 PM)Persandals Wrote: ... at the end of the day this is a train (and plane) company that struggles to build trains (and planes), and does not deserve the support you give it.

At least on the aviation side, BBD products (C-series commercial jets and Global business jets) are highly regarded. Yes, it took them longer to build them that planned, but it happens to the best companies, too (ask Boeing about the 787 or Airbus about the A380).

Back to our LRT system: there is no doubt the trains are delayed. But BBD has had trains waiting at Kingston for months now, and we only recently started accepting them again. And Grandlinq still keeps making repairs to the track (and there is no testing going on).

So while Galloway's official statement may be that it's 100% Bombardier, I will choose to believe my own eyes and own brain, and draw my own conclusions.
