ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
I just took it from Fairway to Downtown, I think I was on the 3rd train to ever do the full line for the public!
A couple notes: 8 people are allowed to board per station, but I heard there were less people than they were expecting at each station so probably they are letting many more on.
The signaling system seems a little bit late (the LRV had to come to a full stop because some gates hadn't been fully down when it approached).
It goes really slowly when doing tight turns.
It's super smooth but you can hear squeaking inside, which is normal obviously.

Anyway, everyone seemed happy and excited to finally be able to ride the ION!
