My opinion has been far from the consensus on RTH, but I think we need to shift gears and start discussing BRT over LRT.

The Mountain, Escarpment and lower city could have BRT installed for a similar cost to one Lower City LRT. LRT has been effectively spun as an elitist option that will only benefit Downtown residents. We all know this to be a manipulative over-simplification, but it is perceived as accurate across the city. By involving the whole city in a BRT installation changes the political dynamic of the funding and acceptance of much needed transit improvements across Hamilton.

The all-or-nothing LRT rhetoric seems to be getting us the nothing option.
