BRT doesn't work everywhere, just like light rale doesn't work everywhere.

The idea of dedicated ROW works against both forms of transportation similarly, which is a legimate critique of the proposed dc streetcar system.

Why spend all the money on a streetcar that has to share a road with all the other vehicle traffic, when you could accomplish the exact same transportation goals by spending a fraction on more buses.

The proposed K Street Transit Way is the only plan I've seen for the District that does it right, in that it seperates the bus/streetcar lanes from the rest of the traffic on K Street.

Anything else is just dumping good money after bad.
