They should build all the tunnels for the full Cadillac route and just use busses.
The Max system offers exceptional service levels, as good as the train. Then as you prove Capacity you add a North Train and finally the SE LRT. The capital expenses take a long time to recover from the reduced operating costs of an LRT compared to a bus. Potentially never.
So do BRT well on dedicated righ-of way with tunnels and overpasses.
