I don't think it's too far off from what other cities have, in my experience. This was my transfer between the Tokyo Haneda monorail and the Yamanote line in Tokyo, for example - Down two escalators, through an intermediate faregate, down another escalator, up another set, and then down a final set of stairs to the platforms.
So going up one staircase to the railway platforms from the LRT platforms is really not so bad!
Agreed. In any major city I can think of, changing trains from one company to another (but still in one station complex) typically requires some combination of walking, stairs and/or escalators, and often multiples. Union Station GO to subway, Tokyo metro to JR, Paddington Heathrow Express to tube etc. It would be rare for two different companies to have neighbouring platforms on the same level.
