Id just like to see something a bit more substantial. Plains could really be a great example for Burlington on how to build a transit oriented corridor around rapid buses. I'd love to see the xpress service return. I also think they need articulated buses, but apparently Burlington can't service them currently. It would be great to see space for the bus to pass traffic along Plains as well as I know traffic can become slightly slow on the road. Basically I'm suggesting that all the money Burlington has they could easily upgrade the service all the way along Plains and Fairview and make it a central spine for other bus service through Burlington. It's a well used line, and they should make the most of it. Would be great to see a slight service bump too, to maybe 7 or 8 minutes.
