Totally agree.
Bergen, Norway has a metro population of 470,000. Smaller than Halifax. Their first LRT line was completed in 2010.
Again, I'm not sure where the argument that Halifax isn't large enough for light rail comes from. Subway, no. Maybe never. But LRT would go a long way in alleviating congestion.
I'm not saying anything new here, just wanted to add my voice to the choir.
Here's a YouTube link on the Bergen LRT.
