If the BLAST network can begin (finally!) with express buses, the next logical step is to start rationalizing the other routes to make the best use of the main transit arteries and improve the overall service and efficiency of the network.
Given Dixon's charge toward changing the HSR's status quo, he should have already begun thinking about how to better use the broader network, regardless of what happens with LRT plans.
Like the one-way debate I think it too will face some rough rides. There are established routes that don't make a lot of sense on paper, but I bet there are people (and councilors) who will argue they need to stay the same.
