It is bad and it's okay to admit that. Relative to the rest of the developed world, it's awful. If it gets you personally from A to B fine then that's great, but the reality is that it is bad.
Blaming "car-brained idiots" is fun for the meme but the quality of the LRT has basically nothing to do with cars. It's bad because they didn't want to spend much money on it. They wanted a prop and they got it. It was a tool to spur investment in residential developments, not a tool to develop a true rapid transit system for a region of this many people. If they wanted that, they wouldn't have gone as far as to cut the number of benches and trashcans on the platform just to save money lmao. We knew this region was going to be growing FAST and they should have taken that into consideration by properly investing in rapid transit.
It's okay for a casual ride, going short distances or if it's the only option you have but it isn't a good transit system. That's fact.
Hell when it comes to the GRT they're so cheap they can't be bothered to clear snow from bus stops...now they just close certain stops during the winter to make it easier. In Canada! Lmfao. Name one urban area on this planet with about 700'000 people that can't be bothered to clear the fucking bus stops of snow or put trash cans at all of them...
