"Sources say the $40 million Silver Line takes twice as long to complete its route as a trip by car, and shaves just one minute off the trip when compared to the route's already existing bus line, which includes more stops"


light rail all day .

But how is light rail any different from a timing perspective? This seems to be more anti mass transit in general. OF COURSE it'll take longer by a mode that makes stops. All this is possibly saying is that the BRT makes too many stops already served by the local.
