The only way to have speeds comparable to an expressway is to have an express route with very few stops (and traffic lights). And that's not the intent of our LRT. I really think the percentage of passengers on the train for the full distance between the two termini will be very small.
On the first day I think I and a large crowd of people from this forum will probably ride it the whole distance.
But after that, yes, I agree the purpose and effect is not to get people from one mall to the other, contrary to the assumptions of many Record commenters and letter writers.
