But in Hamilton the LRT is only replacing an already effective bus route (the 10 B-line).  For my morning commute, I get from my house at King & Sherman to Downtown in only 10 minutes including the time it took me to walk to the bus stop.  

The time for the same trip by LRT would be 10 minutes.

I hate to guess the time it will take for years during the LRT construction.  That is time I will never get back.
