After years of delay, the Finch West LRT line finally opened in Toronto ... and the initial reception has been really, really bad.
So bad that the mayor felt the need to post to reddit:

I'm going to be in Toronto soon. Should I make a video about the Finch West LRT, or would that be beating a dead horse at this point? 🤔
For what ti's worth, I already talked about how the lack of signal priority would be a major problem for these LRT lines in my Toronto streetcars video in July (@ 35:37):
It's worth a watch and [available on nebula](https://nebula.tv/videos/notjustbikes-trams-are-great-so-why-are-the-streetcars-so-bad/), if it's specifically YT that you dislike.
There's more than just "car drivers" to it. But sitting in traffic and waiting for cars was a major factor, iirc. 100 folks in a tram waiting for a single car to turn left is absolutely bonkers.
