/ November 18, 2015Reading this would have been funny if we had not wasted so many scarce transit dollars on “studies” and consultants and virtual fly overs etc. What is so difficult to understand that a bus and a LRT take up virtually the same lane foot print? 11-12′ for BRT vs, 13 – 14′ for LRT (both without stations/walk on platforms). LRT also requires a bit more room to make a 90 degree turn.
Without seeing the replay, the problem seems to be that understanding of urban density has to be able to penetrate the thick outer shell of willful ignorance, The only other explanations are self delusion or sarcasm, because this is most certainly not new information
sheesh.
