>We can't go on being a nation that takes decades to build minor transit improvements due to walls of paper. The sad thing is, the minor transmit improvements are lauded as "marvels". Being recently back from Hong Kong, taking 15 years to build a 2-mile bus route just doesn't impress me. And when you consider that a system like this (only far more extensive) is already in place in Bogotá [0] and has been for about 15 years... well, this little 2 mile stretch seems a bit underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy SF is improving transit. I just wish it didn't take decades because it seems like other solutions are likely to come about in the mean time, which means wasted time.
