same with the LRT - originally the idea was to put it underground for the downtown at least. But the leaders then nixed the idea...now we are redoing all the platforms anyways to increase the amount of LRT cars that can fit between the traffic lights? Underground, you could have 8 cars in a row without a problem during peak hours
If we had buried the Ctrain, it would have been so expensive that we wouldn't have as many stations as we do now. The choice was between a subway that served a limited area or an above-ground LRT that served a much greater area. The city government at the time made the right call.
