Most of the population is based around 3 long roadways: Topsail Rd, Torbay Rd and Kenmount Rd.

I feel like if you implemented a simple rail system on those roads with a few decent stations that it would serve almost the entire population and would be far more efficient than the existing bus system.
I don't think there has been any. I doubt I will see any light rail system in St. John's in my lifetime. Not saying it's a bad idea, but I just don't see it happening. I think we need a proper bus transit system first, and that doesn't even seem like much of a priority at the moment
