I'm sorry, I know the rest is important, but 5 in the day and 15 at night? In other words, the LRT will have the same kind of frequency and service as regular trolley buses in Vancouver/Burnaby?

Pardon my French when I say "phoque Surrey City Council and everyone in it."
To be fair, those frequencies are pretty average for rapid transit in Canada (in the US it's much worse), we're just spoiled by the SkyTrain's frequency.

As far as Vancouver's buses coming just as often, well, Vancouver has much more demand, and the vehicles carry fewer passengers too. No point in running an LRT every 2 minutes in the evening if it's only 10% full.
