Back when they announced the timings sounded like they were being cautious about traveling speeds and conservative in terms of promising speeds, both of which I can understand. But as soon as they work the kinks out and make sure everything is in place they ought to run the trams faster.
LRT will never compete in terms of time from Mall to Mall, since the expressway is right next door. However going into town it could easily be competitive with driving a car since it has right of way and can travel at speeds higher than 50 km/h. I hope they do this.
It would be quite a feather in their cap if rush hour drive from University & King to King & Gaukel was slower than taking the LRT.
