Having lived in Ottawa for a few years, i've been exposed to how good a well run BRT system can function. Although it doesn't have the wow factor of LRT, BRT (on dedicated throughfares like the Transitway) is more flexible, comes with a lower capital cost, and would allow us to leverage some of the buses already in the GRT fleet.

Would it be possible to use some of the existing rail corridors for dedicated BRT roads, or is that out of the question?
