Now, I do have to challenge one of the article's points. It is mentioned (presumably in the report) that north-central riders already use the bus system in great numbers, and this is seen as a positive. What that says to me is that, while indeed the ridership may be certain, the potential impact per dollar spent on transit would be negligible compared to building in the auto-dependent southeast.
