That's clearly a "moar busses" comment and not something about a BRT with fancy grade-separated lanes.
Also, please correct me if I’m remembering wrong, but didn’t ac3r also say something about how we should have built a subway? It’s a bit weird to both say we could save a bunch of money by just buying some buses instead of building an LRT system, and also that we should have built a subway. Which is it, did we waste money or not spend enough? Especially when the subway alternative is clearly not feasible here and now and the more buses alternative is basically what we were doing before we got the LRT.
I don't think ac3r has argued that we simply spent too much for rapid transit, but rather that we spent too much for a system that is (he thinks) deeply compromised. It's quite reasonable to say we could have spent significantly less to get BRT that's just as good, or somewhat more to get a system that's much better.
