Why $$$? We already have buses, just shift them around to make the new routes.
If you just shifted existing buses around, you'd be removing service from other areas. Sure, high frequencies on the iXpress routes, but what about those into the far reaches that are supposed to feed the main routes? Need more buses to handle increased frequencies. Or grade separate every intersection and increase the speed limit for buses to ensure you can do the route in a shorter length of time. Regardless, it costs money to bring good service without harming existing service elsewhere.
