Not very "rapid" at all.
I live minutes from work (down 52nd St to 114th and almost there). I don't deal with transportation issues as much and others, but I see the point being made. My neighbour from two doors down thought BRT was a good idea and gave it a go. It took him 90 minutes to get to work in downtown. He's pretty environmentally conscious, but resorted to his car again.

As some of the candidates have said, it makes no sense to have those huge buses run empty for much of the day. They're definitely going to have to rethink the logistics of these buses. Hopefully whomever wins next Monday can have some real influence in making it happen.

The Herald ran an article today on this very subject right here.

Yeah, I don't much care for them. Does it show?

I do have two political signs on my lawn right now for the first time in my life.
