I still don't understand the attraction/viability of trams that would run on regular streets. I get that they are sexy, but they seem impractical. Putting in tracks is very expensive, trams too. Buses can run those exact same routes and are more flexible. They don't have to follow a tracked route; they can detour around accidents and other blockages, and be used anywhere else in the city as future or temporary demands require. If there is a notion that a tram wouldn't have to contend with traffic (right of way that cars cant use) then the same could be done with dedicated lanes for buses on corridors.
I agree that rapid payment systems could speed loading a bit, and that the routes should be redesigned like tram routes but use buses.
