It would probably help a lot, even if the trains had the same top speed AND acceleration being able to go around tighter corners would help a ton. There's a lot of weird turns in the system, especially Lees - Hurdman - Tremblay. Hurdman - Tremblay is actually where it derailed for a month or so.
Here's what it looks like currently:
and I understand why they wanted it to go to Hurdman, it's a large bus station.
But I wish instead it looked like this:
Then maybe they could have made some a busway where the tracks are now and maybe make Tremblay's LRT station underground and then on the ground it's a bus loop.
