I'm disappointed that Patterson and Hackel aren't onboard with more regional thinking.

However, that said, I really wish that an RTA proposal would mean this:

- Disbanding of SMART, DDOT, People Mover, M1 Rail, etc...
- The regional authority operates all buses in the region, M1 Rail, and the People Mover
- Short-term, BRT is put into place to move people into and out of Downtown Detroit, as well as any other key corridors
- Long-term, grade separated rail [[subway or elevated) is put on certain high-volume key routes

I'm for more public transit, but hate the idea of getting it via yet another overlapping, competing service
