The whole bus situation could be remedied, at least in part and temporarily, but turning the Transitway into, well, a Transitway.
Subways and LRTs don't have train cars that hop on and off the line before or after running through outlying low-density suburban single-use "neighbourhoods". Why does the Busway? Get rid of the local and "express" routes and treat the Transitway like a subway of buses that happens to not be underground.
