I had thought a 2019 launch was pretty unlikely, I'm very disappointed to be wrong. I know some were hoping for a spring launch, but many otherws were hoping to depend on this transportation system. I'm very seriously considering buying a car this winter anyway, not having LRT only makes me more likely.

I am in the exact same situation. I have been holding a car purchase because I live and work along the ION route, and I was hoping to use it every single day as my number 1 transportation choice.

I suppose if you're live and work on a route this would be a big deal, it being late. My living location isn't close to the LRT, and actually no bussing either (it was cancelled after about 30 years of service). My work is on the route though, but lots of times my working hours prohibit using the LRT.

Either way, though, my situation is so different that for what it's worth, the LRT serves zero purpose for my family and situation; however, I am looking forward to using it at some time.
