1. The SELRT is only underground for a very short portion of its overall length (Eau Claire to 10th Ave)

2. Station costs are significantly reduced for low floor (a curb vs and raised platform, plus possible station head)

3. Low floor stations have better interactions with the surrounding communities, imagine 7th Ave without the massive stations instead just slightly raised curbs

4. Calgary Transit has the ability to use low floor for the SE/NLRT since there is no requirement/ability to tie into the existing system, why buy a camera phone when you can by a smart phone for less money?

P.S. Your arguments are weak and very poorly worded, oh and let up on the caps lock there!
P.P.S. You poll makes no sense, I can't figure out if I'm saying yes to low floor, or high floor
