completely oppose any so-called Bus Rapid Transit line / system being
constructed in this corridor. First, there will be nothing "rapid" about
this transit line, should it ever be constructed. Being the equivalent
of a bus-lane, which will necessitate dealing with traffic congestion at
nearly every intersection, the buses using such a BRT line will be
marginally faster, if even that, than the buses that travel this
corridor today.</span></div>

with BRT bus travel times between Downtown and Oakland being pretty
much the same as what we have today, what would be achieved after the
expenditure of $200 million of the taxpayers' money?
