What I don't understand about your position is how BRT would fix the problem. BRT can be used as a wedge issue just the same as LRT. It still requires championing by council and our mayor, and if we do convince the province to build it, its still going to be the B-line first and the A-line at some indeterminate point in the future. All the reasons people oppose LRT are also reasons they might oppose BRT - even on cost, LRT is better because Metrolinx is planning to use provincial revenue to fund it and it is cheaper to operate. At the end of the day, switching to BRT is not going to provide what is lacking in making higher-order transit happen in Hamilton.
