My comment really has nothing to do with any preference, I don't care what we get. But many in the city are hoping for LRT because it signals a long term commitment to transit and specific routes.

I am just cynical citizen stating my opinion. By the way that cynicism is born from my experiences of this city getting it's hopes up over and over only to be let down each and every time. I have no doubt it will happen again with LRT.
