Maybe not a rational difference, but a real one.

Note that I never once said buses were better than streetcars, Brent. I simply said that buses aren't the polluting beasts that they used to be, at least not the new ones...
For the record, I've been on the 15L. I'm not saying it's great (it's not), but I'm not sure the "quality" of the transit riders would be any better on a streetcar following the same route. Let's face it, Colfax is Colfax, and not much can really change the "quality" of mass-transit riders along the corridor...
