I'm all for this project, it has the potential to transform many depressed/mediocre areas for the better. It is the equivalent of building an in-city freeway for our time!

While the cost will be a big issue, IMO the level of expropriation required for it will be the real battle. Having to sell the required taxes to fund it, plus telling x amount of people they're going to lose their property and thus won't benefit from it. Council will have to have a pair of ball, not buckle to the pressure and ram it though.

As well the proposed routing, while I'm fine with it, logically goes along the busy, intense routes I can see some areas being pissed/ SW and NW areas, that don't directly benefit from it and will be hard to sell why they should pay for other areas to have RT while they still have (sub)standard transit.
