In such a automobile dependent city like Surrey, we need to encourage walking, cycling, and transit. People need to get out of their cars. Eventually, vehicle lanes could be removed for bikes, BRT, or LRT. But the infrastructure just isn’t there for it right now, and LRT’s slower speeds attract less ridership than other technologies.
If LRT proponents insist we need cute little toy trains running in the background to build a community, why not get some actual cute little toy trains running in our communities?
