Restricting cross-street traffic generates huge opposition in Toronto when these things are proposed here. It would potentially be damaging to the very businesses that are managing to hang on in the downtown area.
I do not see how these trams are going to survive Winnipeg winters or plough through the ice and snow on the streets. If even one of them breaks down, the whole line has to shut down, as happens here with streetcars.
Despite their unsexy image, buses are far better for Winnipeg.
