ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I'm voting somewhere between "late" and "really late," though the definition of the second is of course subjective. Ken Seiling was quoted in an article not too long ago regarding the dome as saying that he still felt that Ion would be operational sometime in 2017- I wish I could find it; for some reason it struck be as not too confidence-inspiring, since we have generally heard autumn 2017 and now, still almost two years out, it becomes "sometime in 2017." With the rumours about the issues with the trains, and the delays with the Victoria underpass, it doesn't seem likely it will launch in September 2017.

I'll be pleased and not too disappointed if it's a year late. I would hope it isn't delayed into 2019 somehow...

ijmorlan makes a lot of sense when he says it's too bad a phase-in launch isn't possible. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be.
