O-Train Line 1 [Stage 1 | Confederation Line] | In Service

Pivoting Mechanism: Unlike fixed-axle or some non-pivoting low-floor bogies, the IPONAM bogie pivots relative to the carbody to allow the vehicle to negotiate curves, which is intended to reduce wear on wheels and rails.
Articulated Design: The bogies are often referred to as articulated, meaning they allow for movement in tight, low-floor transit scenarios.

I'd like to see at least the extensions to Eagleson and Fallowfield just to catch those park and rides. Otherwise, yeah, they should focus on fixing what they have, both the train and the bus system, along with building the long planned BRTs.
