ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

He being Thomas Schmidt, the region's Commissioner of Transportation and Environmental Services.  I thought I heard more than six trains acknowledging an 'All LRVs' message on the radio today, but they came so fast and furious that I wasn't keeping accurate count...

I was out on my bike and hanging around Mill Station, Borden St. and Ottawa on Thursday after 8 PM and I timed trains going by at 15 minute intervals. Tonight, I was cycling along Duke St. just after 7 and saw a couple of trains pass by at about an 8 minute interval. I think that they are testing at service level frequency.
