Hey now lets not forget thought that according to those same people anything less than a Subway was "Second-Class". Those people who wanted the Subway wanted it because it was sold not only as some fix all solution but as an ego boost. You can try an give them an LRT all you want but the discussion will always go back to "but Toronto", "muh Downtown Elites", But LRT would make us second class" and similar tripe like that. The people who wanted the Subway have hitched their wagons to it and have chosen to die on that hill. Not out of economic sensibility, nor planning and usage, but instead out of a silly us versus them mentality. This hole debate was and still is an exercise in the art of "Feels before Reals". We all know what the real facts are in regards to the whole Subway vs. LRT debate, but we can't let those pesky facts get in the way of our feelings now can we?Those who want subways were perfectly happy with the fully grade-separated LRT
