Polling of residents also supports BRT which quite surprised me as there is a kind of a "free beer" element to asking people if they prefer rail (tramway-LRT) based transit vs. stinky old buses.

Good Day.
Surprising maybe to a certain extent, but practical.
BRT properly proposed, evaluated, built, and (esp.) operated, without major/consistent/constant/ever-annoying chokepoints and tie-ups, is a viable and practical choice.
If the report is fact- and evidenced- based, then kudos for a proper study.
EnJoy!
