It would be a terrible decision for them, but they might make it. I guess it could be good for us if it freed up funding that could be used for Ion Phase II. In a ridership sense, though, I think the Hamilton LRT is more called-for than even Ion Phase I: the various routes along the B-Line (King and Main corridor in Hamilton) are overburdened, with crush loads and pass-bys a common feature of the daily commute.
It's a big mess. Their attempt at an express bus pales in comparison to the iXpress, and ridership already justifies more than that. They really can justify LRT, even without any consideration to economic development. But they still might wind up rejecting it.
