The BRT snake oil salesmen convinced them it's as good as rail at for a fraction of the cost. I'm not convinced.I think BRT sells so well because it's a low upfront capital cost with a much shorter implementation time, along with the fact that you can dump some of your operating costs (street maintenance) onto another agency (state and municipal DOT). Other than the cost of some new buses, the ticket machines, and bus stop shelters, did they actually spend anything else on setting up SBS? |
