Light Rail supporters: LRT will assist affordability by making single or no car households more feasible
Reality: LRT won’t make such households more feasible unless there is a decrease in travel time + increase in ridership
- Only 1-minute faster than the current 96 B-Line or future “L-Line” Bus Rapid Transit
- 15 minutes slower than future SkyTrain on Fraser Highway
- Significantly less ridership than an extension of SkyTrain and BRT
