It’s a build it and they will come situation. If we had lots of density down New Bern without transit, then something like light-rail might have been a good consideration. Since we don’t, BRT is a nice compromise. (don’t forget the DOLRT fiasco, am I right?)
Man, you hit on something. Please tell the transit consultant we hired, a company that plans transit networks all over the world, that they got it WRONG. Hurry, before it’s too late and billions of dollars across the world are spent on running empty buses up and down streets you will never use.
