To me this is the most obvious thing in the world. The #1 problem is existing street congestion; not the wheel technology (steel/rubber/"mono"), number of doors, or fueling (we've had electric buses since the 1930's)

Man...if only we could think of something like that. Wonder what we could call it? Singlerail? No...that's not quite right...

People "want to" go to downtown Seattle...that is why the highways are clogged for 3 hours every night with people fleeing from it.

Nobody wants to go to the shoulder of a highway.

And thus highway buses can never be "BRT".

There. Discredited Bailo in three easy sentences.

However Metro and SoundTransit's network of express buses that use HOV lanes is.

We'd have a great transit system if we simply ran those...all the time.

(You're going faster than we are, at least.)

Interestingly, Sound Transit express routes like the 545 or 555 get riders from point A to point B faster than BRT routes, but I don't believe ST has ever claimed these are BRT because they don't have fancy ticket machines or new bus stops. They're just buses that stop less frequently.

Nobody in Ballard or Fremont or most of N Seattle likes RapidRide changes, just means it takes us twice as long to get anywhere.
