France has an invested interest in a lot of the transportation systems they influence or operate around the world. It's their industry, and Keolis is a French company - they are the ones that will operate our LRT for a few decades at least. Yes, France will operate ION.

To be honest, I had considered the blue lights on the new streetcars unnecessary — all the new streetcars are accessible, so there is no longer a need to mark them off as such. Similarly, once all buses are accessible, new buses could omit the feature. But I hadn’t considered them as a visibility marker. If they make it easier for people to see transit approaching I can see that as being valuable. Although arguably they should be off when the vehicle is out of service.

I like it when little harmless quirks like those lights are retained.
