>>1205841>peak frequencyIt's apples to apples - peak frequency for both. Yes, the trams are higher capacity, but they're still nowhere near as frequent.
>Thinking LRT stops at midnight>70 km/hIt's a tram not a medium/heavy rail with 2 carriages. The stops are also so close together it doesn't have time to hit 70 between stops often. The car speed limit isn't even 70 most of the route.
>buses accepting credit cardsOK so not quite every form of legal tender I guess. Nobody's paying to install barely-used eftpos terminals in every bus.
As the creator of the meme, I have to say I think it's the local peculiarities that make it interesting. You can't really make generic comparisons between forms of transportation. Even the meme you posted has local peculiarities: where else but america are the trains built to survive freight crashes?
