ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

One set of grips doesn't move relative to the floor, the other is attached to the adjacent section and does move. And it is a nuisance. It would be nicer if both grips were stationary, but then I think it would end up pinching the person sitting in the adjacent section.

I don't think it's possible for both grips to be stationary relative to the part inside the bellows.  The bellows connects two 'cars', but the floor is fixed relative to one car, thus the other side of the bellows MUST move relative to the floor, and the floor must pivot somewhere, in this case around one edge of the bellows section.

That being said, I don't mind this at all, I've stood there a few times, it's kind of fun, although I'm sure some will prefer not too.
