I don't think it's fair to say, we must either be very expensive (rail), or very cheap (local bus). BRT is the middle ground and if it is done right, is as good as rail and much less expensive. Rather than two sides fighting for their ideals, maybe we could compromise on a successful middle ground.
Take the purple line for example: transit advocates hated the idea of BRT because they knew it would be done cheaply (as the author says). Fiscal hawks hated the light rail because of the price tag. It would have been a good opportunity to try real BRT. Oh well.
