There is absolutely no conceivable way that a line that stops at red lights will shave ten minutes off a trip compared with the subway.

Oh?
I am at Kennedy station (for whatever reason) and I want to get to Bathurst & Eglinton.
If I take Eglinton LRT, I will get there in 32 minutes.
If I take Danforth Subway, transfer to Yonge Subway, it will take me 38 minutes to get to Eglinton Station. Then I will take whatever kind of to be running on Eglinton. Lets say between 5 (underground LRT) and 15 minutes (bus).
38 + 5 = 43 minutes.
I would have saved 11 minutes by not taking the subways. More if there weren't an underground on Eglinton.
And if I opted to use the Spadina subway to Eglinton West station instead, I would have lost a couple more minutes in travel.
Is it still "inconceivable"?
I sure don't believe the TTC's estimates on travel time. Also, I agree that even if the LRT is slightly faster, people will probably end up choosing B/D and Yonge instead of Eglinton.Oh?

Even if it shaves 10 minutes off their total trip? You really don't have much faith in the intelligence of a commuter, do you?
I have no faith in yours when we're talking about a combined RT-Eglinton line and not point to point along Eglinton (and if there are so many people going point to point along Eglinton, you should be harping on about a continuous Eglinton line east of Kennedy).

To be honest, I couldn't make a lick of sense out of your sentence, so please explain to me what the hell "I have no faith in yours when we're talking about a combined RT-Eglinton line" means??
"I have no faith in your [intelligence] when we're talking about a combined RT-Eglinton line and not point to point along Eglinton"
So intelligence was the subject. I still don't understand your sentence. Am I not intelligent when you are talking about a combined line? I thought we agreed on that one, and that was already acknowledged earlier.
My response was to your "everybody will use Bloor Danforth instead, despite the lost time and additional transfers" bullshit. (yeah, reading your own quotes would help you, too).
Which will not be the case because, believe it or not, most people won't waste 20 minutes a day and add more transfers just to avoid the possibility of maybe stopping at a red light.
It's gone from 10 minutes to 20 minutes in the last page...will it be 30 minutes in your next post?
