Shift: London's Rapid Transit Initiative

[Djeffery]

The more I listen to the BRT proponents in the media, the more I realize this is simply about fixing the underground infrastructure with shared funding of senior governments. Money that otherwise wouldn't come without the transit system on top of the ground. The number of times Jesse Helmer said "this is money we would have to spend anyway" this week was crazy.

Which I guess explains the BRT routing, because the outer reaches of the city are new enough that sewer lines don't need to be replaced yet.
