Hey, BRT is great! I’ll happily support that rather than building regular car infrastructure.
I also still vastly prefer the train. Or a ferry, if that’s an option.
Point not brought up by the other person: Bicycles. I am primarily a bike commuter, and have had one good experience with a bike and bus:
Last bus out of the city, like 2:30am. Driver has no time for our shit, tells us to bring them inside and hang on, to hell with the front rack. We didn’t even pay.
I’ve also had my bike half pop out of said front rack, get taco’d, and got absolutely nothing out of it. Totally fucked. No restitution.
Best case with bikes on a bus is you get lucky and get a spot, usually you’re better off just riding the whole way.
Trains, have room. Never not made a train with my bike.
