The LRT's wiring (which seems to be consistently omitted from every rendering I've seen of the system) will complicate using double-decker buses on any routes that cross the tracks. Those routes would be the most likely to be the high-volume routes, too.
I was wrong. Many designs of double-decker buses could fit under the overhead catenaries (citations in my newer post)
