I don't see cities of that size with LRT.

Nottingham UK has a beautiful Tram system, which serviced beautiful pedestrian shopping areas, brimming with life, shoppers, and buskers. They have dedicated bus/cycle lanes painted red. They have closed some side streets to through-traffic to route their LRT.

Their population is ~300K, around ~700K including surrounding suburbs. Nottingham has its' "code red" issues too. It was striking what kind of similarities existed between my home town Hamilton, and this interesting ancient city I was exploring. Contrasts were evident too. They have some self respect and standards for their city, and take pride in being able to accomplish things such as higher order transit.

They must have really pissed off people like you while building it.
