So where do you think that the tracks will be going, if not through cities and municipal centers? The feds are going to be up against a ton of pushback if they try to ram this through purely because they have jurisdiction. The negotiation alone will take years.

Also I'm referring to the Kitchener-Waterloo and Ottawa light rail transit projects. One is doing better than the other (hint: it's not the country's capital) but neither were very well-planned, well-executed, or well-received.

Nah. The battery on my old Samsung Galaxy S4 literally just pops out with minor force applied as soon as the cover is off, leaving the phone ready for a new one to be slotted in. That is what "user replaceable" means.

Don't get me wrong, I am familiar with electronics, have a diploma in electrical engineering, have soldered hundreds/thousands of components, etc. and I could do this easily (though I have concerns about heating the battery). But most people cannot currently replace the battery without significant headaches.
