But I am assuming ridership gains will be pretty small across the system, while we introduce this huge extra cost of Ion. Our “farebox recovery ratio” will go way down, won’t it?

ION isn't being operated by GRT, so I don't think that it should enter into any farebox recovery metric. But I'm not an accountant.
