Thank you for the positive feedback.
Not only can express buses use the Transitway but also so could potential commuter buses from outer areas such as Okotoks. Commuter buses can have specific points where they get on the Transitway from, for example, the Deerfoot. Commuter buses can use the route but wouldn't never slow it down as some busways have buses every 20 seconds. They can merge onto the Transitway at any station whether from Okotoks or Langdon.
The true spur lines can be total busway so heavier use along most of the route and the route can be split bringing more rapid transit to more people at a fraction of the cost of an LRT. Also BRT buses that are used in massive systems around the world are no the same old buses they use to be. Most larger system use bi-articulated buses. A new one that is now being used in Dresden has capacity of 250 people per bus due to it's 30 meter length but is totally low floor, has extra wide LRT type doors, and yet doesn't sway like many articulates due to a unique axcel.

If the City has a few extra billion lying around then great but they don't and the last thing the city should do is do it's transit planning by a politician who's only concern is the ribbon cutting ceremony.
