There should be an Ion blog which tells us exactly how many vehicles are out and what they are doing (e.g., “today we are testing operation of interlocking in the presence of 4 vehicles”, or “today drivers at the 2nd stage of training are practicing normal service operations”). No excuses. Nobody has a legitimate interest in keeping secret any of this stuff. This is not a matter of national security.
Sadly this is entirely par for the course for big projects of any kind...even private ones. And I think there is a fear of embarrassment or having mistakes be exposed.
But if John Griffin's unbelievably openness with the work being done in Waterloo park has proven anything, it's that people would rather have open communication than see people trying to hide setbacks or being unclear etc.
Open communication is very beneficial in terms of public relations, even if it does have some risks.
