Trust me when I say we shouldn't copy it. Highly disappointed.
A month ago I went to Seattle and Portland partially just to try out their LRT systems. I share your sentiment, it was much slower which really doesn't make up for the fact that you don't have to use stairs to use it. Seattle's wasn't as bad as Portland's, but honestly in Portland I'd sometimes forget I wasn't on a bus, it felt pretty much the same.

I'll be going to Edmonton and Calgary in late August to try their systems out too, as they're built differently (less urban and more commuter focused).
