This is why that cartoon exists. The specific case is unrelated and the cartoonist is complaining about the wrong things, but at least a handful of the folks I know in town who commute by car have been blocked by something they identify as LRT testing or problems from the LRT and they aren't going to differentiate about what testing is happening (or if there's an active crew out). It's just "ha yeah the LRT what a boondoggle, fucked up traffic for years and still does it and they haven't gotten it running yet". It's a real easy wave of negativity for people to hop on board.
