Because Snyder's view seems to correlate Troy's mayor's and Patterson's view of transit in SEM. I agree with those on DYes that if major funding were to occur, it might as well be for the long term and not be a dull blade on a dead carcass. If the city is to revive and regroup, the BRT may be a suburban solution over the long haul given fuel costs etc...

The real solution is in creating a new entity for metro Detroit[[1).
To regulate and implement high quality, high yield transit for the city and burbs through a metro transit agency[[2). These two aspects need to be addressed by the state since the counties of SEM are not proactive enough to recognize the need for a coalition. The further apart on issues like education and policing Detroit and the burbs are, more vital forces will disappear from the region.


Streetrail would entail termini building at important commercial points and improve pedestrian circulation in both directions of any given circuit. This may sound elementary and easy to overlook but essentially, the most positive aspect of an attractive, efficient LRT is the occupation of all the commercial space along the corridor. A BRT will not have the same attributes that a train or streetcar would.
