3 car LRV trains at high frequency are very high capacity. It's almost as long as the trains on Sheppard. Each LRV car has capacity of 251, so a train of 3 has capacity of 753.
By comparison the new subway Rocket trains have crush load 1100

Fair enough. I would agree with this but Hudak would not, I think.
The Danforth extension is planned to go up to Sheppard & McCowan. Whether a Sheppard LRT or subway are built or not, it's a good thing for the McCowan subway (or LRT) to go up to Sheppard to connect to the Sheppard east bus.
Right but in that same vein if the Sheppard East LRT is build, that bus will be eliminated. I would rather have the subway fall the RT path.
