Thanks.

I'm not sure there was any political force behind this, I believe it came out of the route ahead plan and is part of long term transit plans. It serves people who would like to use transit to get them places efficiently and quickly, in leu of building an LRT.
I'm not sure what there is to oppose, though I haven't looked into this specific project, it seams to me the more people you get on buses, the fewer are in cars to clog up the roads. The best way to do that is by making transit quick and convenient, hence the BRT.
