Well sure at this point we'd lose all the time spent working on the Tramway if we were to switch to a Rapibus project. My point is that a Rapibus project right off the bat would likely be closer to shovels in the ground and operation if we'd chosen that route.
And while the QGRY track corridor was low-hanging fruit in the central and eastern parts of the city, I am not sure that going west finding room for a tramway is any easier than finding room for a BRT.
