ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(04-04-2025, 08:55 PM)ac3r Wrote: Tunnelling in this area is very possible. People always point to the water table to say it would be infeasible, but...we know how to make tunnels in any condition. It would have been costly, but if they tunnelled where it made sense (the urban core areas, mostly) it would have resulted in a much better truly rapid transit system rather than this Frankenstein amalgamation of street car + tram + light rail system that is objectively bad since it is trying to do numerous things at once whilst failing spectacularly at all of them.

Huh. 22 million LRT rides in 2024.
