I'm with d_jeffrey on this one.
Yeah, it's always great to see money go into transit infrastructure, but not like this where it's spent on the wrong thing. I can't believe people(on both sides of the river) think that BRT si still the way to go, because it "isn't broken".
Gatineau could have easily had a very fast and effective commuter train down to Hull and Ottawa, but chose BRT because the "return on investment" would be greater. If they ahd gone with Commuter/LRT instead of BRT, it would easily become a major leap in terms of integrating the transit structures of both cities, but is now a missed opportunity. Gatineau is Quebec's fourth largest city after Montreal, Laval and Quebec. It also makes up part of a major metro area of nearly 1,300,000. Such a waste.
