It brings me back to the point that we're not really maximizing the opportunities that a low-floor tram presents...because it turns out it doesn't really make great transit? But it sure looks neat in Portland and Bilbao!
Can you name a city anywhere in the world that opened a high floor LRT line (that wasn't connected to a legacy system) in the past decade? The past 25 years?

What do you see as the main advantage of using last century's technology -- having to build larger, more expensive stations or having to custom-order bespoke trains rather than standard models?
