ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

It's weird that Conestoga keeps its mall-centric name and Fairway doesn't.

I like King Central. It sounds weird today, but maybe only because it's new. That area's going to need a name when the transit hub opens, and that's a good one.

It's funny, but Montreal metro names have gotten longer over time with the addition of university and college names, with one exception. "Guy" -> "Guy-Concordia", "Square Victoria" -> "Square Victoria-OACI", "Longueuil" -> "Longueuil-Université de Sherbrooke", "Berri de Montigny" -> "Berri-UQAM". They also simplified "L'Assomption" to "Assomption".

Fairway and Fairview are pretty close, but yes, the difference is strange. Conestogo might have made more sense. But that's also a place name that's not there.
