Minneapolis-area bus system launches study aimed at adding bus lanes, signal priority, curb extensions etc system-wide.
But some of busiest routes left out of study because they're under study for future "BRT" & this is just like BRT.
Explain to me why there are two studies. What possible advantage is there to planning this as two networks rather than a single bus network that's as good as possible, other than to use "BRT" as an excuse for not building rail lines??
