If one doesn't support this new VLRT technology {and I do understand the hesitation} then fine but that doesn't change the fact that these new streetcar/LRT lines are costing way to much and taking way too long to build. For this kind of money and construction time, how is a streetcar any better than an articulated bus in it's own lane? The amount spent on this one short line could be used to fund 10X more bus lanes serving thousands more destinations and hundreds of thousands of more residents all across the city.

Considering the astronomical cost of this little line and years of construction, this WLRT is simply not money well spent.
