Future Transit System Fantasy Ideas

[eternallyme]

I don't agree with any full-scale rail lines not connecting to the downtown spine, since the ridership is not high enough and certainly too unreliable to make such a viable investment when LRT should be extended to the suburbs with that money.

I'd make the crosstown and non-downtown links outside the existing Transitway and extensions (and Gatineau links) part of a low-cost BRT network with signal priority and special stops, with reserved lanes if warranted. If ridership overcrowds key bus routes (such as 1, 2, 12 and 85), then surface trams should be used to serve those routes.
