  Whilst this is very cool, I’m a little concerned about how the pros for “very light rail” basically amount to having better vibes than busses. Not that I even disagree with that premise, but I’d want something more concrete…

    It’s all about the cost savings (in the short term. I don’t know how long such trackwork would last)

      That’s kind of my concern. I’m worried they’re cutting so many corners that the competitive edge over busses all but vanishes and, best case scenario, this ends up being a bizarre PR campaign for public transit.

  Trams are common sense. So are trains.

    You overestimate “common”
