Myth: LRT will get stuck in traffic.

Fact: LRT will run on dedicated lanes with signal priority. That means the streetlights will automatically turn green for the LRT vehicle as it approaches an intersection.

We could all debate ridership statistics, examples of other cities' successes, ROI, etc, but the basic fact quoted above still escapes people. They think we're going to be paying $1 billion for Toronto-style street cars and want none of it. You'll never get the "Why" into their heads if they don't understand the "What" first.
