Again, we shouldn't be trying to "discourage" people from driving. This is a war-on-cars mentality which is counterproductive.
We want to encourage people to take transit because it is the faster, cheaper, smarter choice. One way for this to happen is to run the LRT at a somewhat higher average speed than presently planned, say 10km/h faster. If the LRT takes five minutes less point to point and I can read a book/watch a youtube video/text friends on my way to work, I'm taking the LRT on my own accord.
