I seriously doubt having all those things will change anyone's perception in Winnipeg. You're not going to take the BRT because you have to pay on the bus instead of at the station? Sure people who know understand the advantages. But regular Winnipeg Jane Doe will not give two shits.

I do agree with all the points though. A lot of those things can be remedied. They do have pseudo level boarding. The curbs are higher (I think) and the buses kneel. It's up to the driver to pull right up to the edge, which can be the difficult part with the set-up of some stations.
