ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
There are 4 underground stations for Ottawa system.

After riding a number of systems this year, there needs to be a number of changes for the ION system that go back to opening day. Gates are too slow for lowering and raising at a number of locations. If one looks at RR gates, they are faster than the slow ones. Even Minneapolis Blue line are faster and they use 3 car trains every 10 minutes.

Most of the Green Line line have no gates and they run faster on the street in 3 cars sets every 10 minute than the ION. In a lot of areas, they have chain between the tracks to stop people crossing mid block, but can get over them easy.

All on street lines will see accidents or someone kill cause by not thinking. I watch a truck back into another coming out of a driveway that end up blocking the streetcar line in Cincinnati as we were about to leave the city. Their line see a 66' car every 15 minute, but normal its more cause by traffic.
