- bryanlarsen 7y agoSure, but why? The vast majority of the cost for a good rail system is in the dedicated right of way, overpasses for intersections and the stations, a BRT wouldn't be significantly cheaper. https://www.theurbanist.org/2016/10/12/brt-is-not-cheaper-than-light-rail/ https://www.theurbanist.org/2016/10/12/brt-is-not-cheaper-th...
- kube-system 7y agoMaybe not when used as a complete system -- the advantage is that you can piece in a BRT in specific areas where it would be advantageous, while the majority of the system consists of buses on regular streets.
