Canada is one sprawly country

I never consider 501, 505 etc as LRT. They are just regular buses ...

You might want to get downtown more often. These are all light rail transit, using light rail vehicles. Nothing at all like a bus.

I live 5 minutes away from City Hall.
I don't care about what technology it uses. For a passenger, the streetcars have similar capacity and speed as buses. They share roads with cars and stop in front of every red light with very frequent stops. I don't see they are really different. The subways are a different matter.

Then why do you start posts by stating your considerations on whether they are LRT or not. If you don't care, why make it the key point of your post?

Really ... a 23-metre long bus 501 has a similar capacity to a 12-metre long bus? Do you think the new 30-metre long LRVs have a similar capacity too?

On Yonge? Too overcrowded, and too slow. I normally take an LRV instead.
