@MidTowner Oh, you're absolutely right, it being a bad choice in no way means it won't be the choice. Just look at Brampton.
I also suspect you're right, I've only visited Hamilton a handful of times, and never taken transit, but given the descriptions of the council delegates, it does sound as though their transit system is much farther over capacity than ours. I've occasionally been left behind by a GRT bus, but I've never seen one which felt the need to display "full bus" on the front of it.
On the plus side, it seems as though there is a great deal of citizen support for the LRT project at the council meeting.

I didn't actually mean good for us in terms of available funding at a provincial level (which might also be the case). I meant economically. Building the LRT should be good for economic development, Hamilton not building it means fewer competitor cities to KW.
