I would say that Portland example is technically wrong. That's just the downtown streetcar, not the whole system.

I've never ridden a TTA Streetcar, but streetcars are a subset of light rail. I think the quality of the ride depends on the track maintenance and vehicles. Since you're getting rid of those vehicles, you might change your mind about the difference between streetcar and LRT.

The traffic issue shouldn't be an argument. Technically its correct but there is such a thing as induced demand. When more space is on the road, more people use it.

I've been following this site for a while. Keep up the good work.
