I realize you would prefer a different transit mode for either corridor. Yet, this is a transit improvement, $24 Million of additional federal cash going into CapMetro's bank accounts, which you should be rejoicing over.
The rapid bus services will run on both sides of the Colorado River on streets with the most density in the city. Funny how one of my earlier suggestions for a streetcar route was dismissed offhand because there wasn't sufficient density, yet both CapMetro and the FTA thinks there is for Metrorapid services.

I thought you would agree with most that with CapMetro's low financial resources cheaper transit modes should be built first, not the most expensive mode CapMetro can no longer afford. Any improvement is better than none.

I guess I was wrong......
