I do think that it's telling that Malcolm's first post on this subject has been up for *two weeks* and yet you are still talking about needing rebuttals for all of his points. This is hardly a well-oiled political machine you've got going here - and perhaps you ought to consider the possibility that he is right in some of his arguments.

Another reason why our responses are a little slow is because we actually research what we are talking about and double, even triple check our points to make sure they are concrete. If you notice the LRT responses often pull facts from various LRT lines ranging widely in technology and never actually comment on a single technology that they believe would be well suited for the broadway corridor. They are skirting the issues at any possible chance. They have even resorted to childish behavior in their last response.
Yes, many of their facts are correct, for other LRT systems, not one that could be put down Broadway.
I would love to see this LRT they are talking about that only costs 10 million a KM being built down the middle of a major road artery, is decently fast despite being located within 50/60kmh speed zones with countless traffic lights while also taking on the role of a local bus with countless stops, has a capacity of 20 000 pph, despite the fact the trains would have to be relatively short due to Broadway's short blocks in areas, is able to run frequently, despite all the traffic intersections (that is a lot of signal queuing), and is able to climb steep grades. Until they actually show me a detailed report showing this amazing fantasy system that can be built for 10 mil a km they are simply Cherry Picking!
I for one have never seen that system, have you?
