I’m not sure you guys realize how many people not in KW are trying out the ION this week. I know a bunch of people from Guelph that have come out and a few people from London as well.
This is still a novelty for lots of people in the area that aren’t served by busses.
I don’t blame Conestoga Mall for not giving up their parking spots for free. Although I think a better business decision would have been to embrace the free week. Advertise to people they could come and park this week only and then make it clear that once regular service starts they aren’t a park and ride.
I agree that it’s unlikely to be a big problem long term. There’s generally a lot of free/cheap parking around the places the ION goes (including uptown).
