ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

To be honest, I’m amazed we’ve had nearly a year of (very limited) operations under our belt without a single LRV-Pedestrian or LRV-Automobile conflict yet. Houston had 70+ Accidents the first year.

I'm not, between limited operations and *extremely* cautious operators (coming to a near complete stop at some corners, when facing a green), they're clearly trying to minimize risk.  Also see the plausible suggestion they're avoiding rush hour.

Which bugs me a little bit, when this is operating, it will operate during rush hour.  There are serious problems that need to be rectified before it can operate smoothly (the turn off King in uptown is blocked by cars about 70% of the time I go past).  We've been testing long enough, if we're not comfortable operating in rush hour yet, it just makes me more anxious about timelines.
