In terms of the "Population per System Length" a cool metric would be the population within X meters of the system.
That would really make more sense. It’s not really about how big the city is, but rather how many people are near the system. In an extreme case, one can imagine a poorly designed LRT being installed in a city with a huge land area and a huge population, but in an area distinct from almost the entire population. On the other hand a small dense city may well be able to usefully build a small LRT at populations even smaller than ours.
The scarborough subway extension. You're describing the 3.5-4 billion 3km scarborough subway extension.
