They've actually planned it pretty well. The busway will be fairly wide. Once we decide to build LRT the busway will become single lane in the peak flow direction while the LRT is built alongside, and this lane will then become a service road/cycle way once it's all completed.

Still would be better to build it all at once though - we know we're going to need it.
