there is no need to start at that kind of expensive level as yet.
i agree that a more typical brt express route could be done much more cheaply on a trial basis to gage interest before deciding to invest in more a more heavy duty brt operation like the healthline. nashville could build it up to that level later if it takes. seems like a fiscally responsible and transit positive action to take next i would say. it probably would not even need a levy to try it out.  |
It should be a demonstration project, ie small but permanent and with some clearly improved infrastructure. Any trial project that requires very little investment, will not demonstrate much of anything. It will not win over many voters. It could be easily perceived as the lose, lose situation previously mentioned.
