its just something to be aware of and you have to advocate about it constantly.
i wasn't thinking of a bigger lrt train tho.

I have seen the same here with articulated buses. Capacity becomes more important than frequency. In the long run, this is a bad idea.
An articulated streetcar has a similar capacity as an articulated bus, but you have the cost of the rail infrastructure. Beyond that, we are getting into LRT size vehicles which need at least separate lanes to run effectively.
