[Transport] Public Comments: Proposed Pittsburgh Bus Rapid Transit Project

Public Comments: Proposed Pittsburgh Bus Rapid Transit Project
I completely oppose any so-called Bus Rapid Transit line / system being constructed in this corridor. First, there will be nothing "rapid" about this transit line, should it ever be constructed. Being the equivalent of a bus-lane, which will necessitate dealing with traffic congestion at nearly every intersection, the buses using such a BRT line will be marginally faster, if even that, than the buses that travel this corridor today.
So, with BRT bus travel times between Downtown and Oakland being pretty much the same as what we have today, what would be achieved after the expenditure of $200 million of the taxpayers' money? GLITZ ?
