BRT, if it were actually implemented as a full-blown system along the length of Woodward, would be 1000x more useful than the upcoming toonerville trolley.
But no one around here wants transit, or a functional city. They want Disneyland. They want tourist trolleys, sports stadia, convention centers, sports bars, and casinos.
They moved the bus hub from Campus Martius to basically a back alley, and everyone was happy. They wasted the last 10 years arguing over a stadium shuttle when they should be fixing DDot. It isn't facilitating mobility, it's following the "script" of whatever's en vogue for the latest iteration of U.S.-style "urban renewal".
