From downtown you can hop a train or bus and get nearly anywhere in the city. Perhaps with one transfer.
From anywhere else you have to first go downtown and then change directions to your destination. Guaranteed one or more transfers. Unless you happen to live near the circle route and it happens to be go by your destination.

A pipe dream of mine is some sort of Circle Route LRT design at some point for Calgary
Other random LRT thoughts....
-Can someone fill me in on the 8th ave tunnel? Haven't heard much about it.
-When the LRT finally goes for cars there are going to be some interesting problems that prop up. The NW cars frequently stop downtown just after (or before) the bridge in between 5th and 6th ave. When the line is 4 cars they aren't going to be able to do that and I can see even more delays as they try to exit west via Bow trail.
