I'm quite partial to the idea of having three transit types:
- Local (short distances, slow speeds, mixed traffic; for getting around a neighbourhood)
- Express (medium-long distances, high speeds, RoW, but lots of stations; for getting around the city)
- Regional (long distances, high speeds, RoW, and very few stations; for crossing the city).
With BRT and LRT, we cover the 'Express' category pretty well, but your plan adds a 'Regional' component, where people can get from Bayview to Kanata or Barrhaven with only a few stops.
