BRT for Houston... a better solution than rail?

So you're saying the money should be spent on one (or possibly two) grade separated lines and 2-3 additional BRT lines, instead of 4 at-grade LRT lines? So are you planning on adding money to the budget or do you have a different definition of BRT?

I would rather see 2 good lines (as in grade separate/subway/heavy rail), one going north and south and one going east and west than what is being built now. This way there is a permanent fixture for infrastructure to grow densely around in the future. I think grade separate BRT would be good for the other needed lines that way they can be converted in the future to heavy rail when needed. What is being constructed now is nothing more than large street car.l

The north/south line could start at Intercontinental Airport and extend all the way to Hobby Airport.
