That video was made by an edgelord. Edmonton could only dream of a system like what Brisbane (or even Ottawa) built for their BRT.

Ottawa and Brisbane both got to the point where the bus lane became saturated. Ottawa then built a system with higher capacity to deal with the problem whereas Brisbane just keeps piling on more and more buses. Big difference

Big difference from Edmonton as well, who wisely built the higher capacity system first (LRT) and are now looking to augment it. That said, what's proposed in the mass transit plan doesn't involve dedicated busways or higher capacity vehicles.

In some instances,, the BRT is scalable. Priority signals on bus lanes can be upgraded.

There is nothing stopping anyone from driving a car on a BRT bus lane.

You can put barriers and segregate the right of way. But the same could be said about the low-floor LRT, tho.

NYC has cameras

Well if you want to see a city where I think they've gone in the wrong direction, look up Cebu City BRT

Same can also be said about red lights. If there’s a problem, enforcement can be installed.

I’m guessing that this topic won’t be touched until the next administration is elected.
