Editor: Re: Happy to see some love for light rail, letter to the editor, Feb. 19 I can only confirm the benefits of LRT that D.M. Johnston observed in Germany, specifically in the city of Karlsruhe. I hail from there, and go back every so often.
The rail/streetcar system is extensive. You can travel all the way from Heilbronn to Baden-Baden; from city centre to city centre all on the same train.
What a bonus the LRT would be for Vancouver and the outlying areas. Even my husband, a born Canadian, marveled at the functionality of said system.
