Confederation Line (Ottawa LRT) Testing

Ottawa, Ontario is about to open a new automated light metro line. The system was built on the bones of the existing Bus Rapid Transit line, which was built in the 80's with the expectation that one day it would be converted to light rail. Ottawa made good on that plan with a big way; the stations are grand, service is fast, and very frequent (sustained 3 minute headways during my 2 hour walk along the system).
