A lot of people now have longer and/or more complicated commutes, but sadly, you can't please everyone, and they design routes and LRT lines for the greater good. I feel for some people who aren't in downtown and now have to Bus-LRT-Bus to work.
With no traffic, my commute is a few minutes longer and now has a transfer, but there are to ton of people with better commutes now.
Observations on the PM commute yesterday; getting out of downtown was a lot slower than expected, with a lot of sitting and waiting at lights, however, once you got out of downtown it was ridiculously fast getting to 69th. Transfer to the 94 wasn't
too brutal
