Edmonton, which has primarily run buses for years, is now expanding their C-train network. I suspect it's because the train is superior.
I do, however, agree with Lafleur that we have to be careful not to induce demand for sprawl with the LRT. Building to Somerset, for example, contributes to demand for Silverado, which as a new community costs the city money. I don't like building the LRT to the edge of the city, at least not until the inner city routes are more developed.
