I don't know how you can't laugh at articles like that. It's a perfect example of something that will only resonate with the people that already firmly hold the authors beliefs because the logic and arguments used are so ridiculously poor.
UPX isn't even close to comparable to the LRT. Even if the UPX was a raging success it would have little value in predicting the success of the LRT. I'm not sure why a campus not on the LRT line is indicative of lack of interest in the LRT line. And I'm also not even sure if 57% voting against a transit pass is a negative signal. So 43% voted for it? If 43% of any significant segment used the LRT/transit regularly I think that would probably be pretty good.
I also like the half-insult to the tech community of KW. I'm pretty sure they're providing significantly more benefit than this guy.
