The problem with this is the assumption that the people who are willing to spend huge sums of money on the streetcar [[which they are) would be willing to spend the same amount of money to shore up bus service [[which they are not). It's not a bucket of public money that can be moved around and used for whatever you like. Even if it were mostly Federal money - which it mostly isn't - capital project funds can't be used for operations.

Whether it eventually goes beyond the initial few miles depends on quite a few different things coming together. Just for one: has Mr. Ford actually accepted the RTA position yet?
