I'll start by playing the "subsidy/fairness" game going full force in General Road thread...
There are 3 post-secondary institutions, and two of them are connected to iON. Tibbits is well within his rights to complain he is being treated differently. A look at the iON map shows the train starting on King St, going out of the way to the two universities before returning to King St. (I know this is overly simplistic, and is no different than the "train from mall to mall" argument).... but why can't we make a detour for 45,000 passengers then head on down Fountain into Preston.
