ION Stage I: what would you do differently?

Lol, no. You keep keep giving numbers, but fail to cite your sources, specifically how whatever numbers you have relate to Waterloo Region in particular. You can't just write a wall of text and say that's that, withing pertinent studies relating to us. I'm not going to give any thought to statistics without sources, ideally sources that apply to us.

I get you like trains and the ION but if you're going to use numbers and data and spreadsheets, ensure they are applicable to us and not just random numbers you Google searched and are trying to apply to Waterloo Region. You just sound like a staunch defender of the ION that shoots down any argument against it.

BRT was going to be cheaper, but in my case I cannot provide numbers because of a legal clause as that information belongs to the Region of Waterloo whom I frequently work for. We went with LRT obviously. But the burden of proof is in yourself if you are going to keep claiming all options except the LRT as it is was preferable.
