The proposed changes to the Ion rail service in Waterloo, ON, Canada will see a reduction in frequency from every 15 minutes to every 30 minutes during off-peak hours. This decision will have a profound impact on the daily lives of many residents who rely on this service for their transportation needs.

This region has achieved record breaking transit ridership records in the past year and by destroying the reliability of our transit system for anyone other than commuters, we risk losing the trust of new riders and pushing more people into cars.

We urge regional council and staff to support the amendment to maintain the current 15 minutes schedule for off-peak hours!
