Bratina's map and his remarks speak volumes about his real perspective. His train goes from suburbs on the mountain to Downtown and Pier 4, and to McMaster. It doesn't stop anywhere between the Mountain and downtown--or, if it does, it's in a park. It does nothing for Landsdale, Hamilton's poorest neighborhood. It does nothing for the whole east side, except take away their green space. But it's good if you're in Westdale or James North or Durand or the east Mountain. Of course, if you can afford to live there, you can probably afford a car.

As if that's not enough, Bratina then adds that his route through nowhere would provide "hundreds of thousands" of rides a year. Gee, the B-Line would prove a hundred thousand rides in just over a week, at current ridership levels (~13k a day). What's this man's job again?
