Light rail is a feel good warm fussy thing.

I agree that lightrail is slow and small, but upgrading to what appears to be 2 sets of tracks seems to make a bit more sense then the 1 2 car thain that only ran a handful of times a day. The epping link i do agree would have been a much better solution.
But atleast for the most part, its not on the streets. The light rail ruined the city for people like my who needed to drive in the city and surrounds for work. If i spent all day over the easy side of the cbd, fine, all day on the west side of the cbd, fine. Chopping and changing between the 2 sides and crossing george st multiple times in a day, well thats a major annoyance. It was bad enough when they took away oodles of street parking for the bike lanes.
