GRT was also posting on Friday that they're adding extra trains to handle the loads from the Canada Day celebrations, but it sounds like from Tom's tweet they're going beyond that.
I think the success of ION is important enough to the region that they're interested in trying to stay on top of demand rather than just setting a schedule once every few months. I feel like the ION launch has really changed attitudes into thinking more like a big city transit system.
Do you recall when they were supposed to start two-train service? Wasn't that like 2025? They may have to rethink that if service doesn't die down as much as they anticipated come this summer and/or September (when everyone is back to work and school). I have to wonder when procurement will occur for the new trains.
