That all means nothing when the LRT makes turns at a snails pace. There's almost no point along the network that it manages to make it 800 meters before it has to slow down for something - a pedestrian crossing, a street, a turn or stop at a red light like it's a car (lol). It was a great project if you're a developer looking to cash in on selling condos "near the LRT" but that's about it. It takes me more time to use the LRT than the route 8 bus to get from Fairway Sation/Hidden Valley to downtown. It's rapid transit in concept, but in execution it's a joke.

This seems like a very strange metric. Within the urban area...where the LRT is street running, there are few stations that are more than 800 m apart. Central and GRH are...and that's a straight shot...the only reason for it to slow down is because the policy in place does not always give it priority at intersections (a choice, not a limitation of LRT).

Almost every other station is closer than 800 meters or is in the perifery of the city and is accessed by higher speed sections of track anyway.
