I'm 100% in favour of clearly identifying high frequency routes on maps and signs, don't get me wrong. It's the marketing fluff beyond this that is making me hedge my bets:

Want to sell someone "maximum reliability & efficiency"? That's an easy sell to someone as they're sitting on a bus in dedicated/separated lanes, flying past traffic jams. But on the North Crosstown? Not so much. I'm fairly pleased with the other new BRT routes; they're not "perfect" but they are excellent & significant steps forward.
