The bird has already flown on this one, but has anyone discussed Bus Rapid Transit in OKC. The principal is that you have dedicated lanes, dedicated stoplights, a routine schedule (i.e. bus runs every 15 minutes), elevated ADA compliant loading/unloading zones at each stop etc. Basically it is everything that a streetcar is, without the railroad tracks. Because of this it is much much cheaper, and can thus have a longer route map than a traditional streetcar. Also it has the effect of creating all the lanes needed to eventually upgrade to a true streetcar at some future point.

Pleae forgive me if this has already been discussed to death. I am new-ish to town, and new-ish to these forums.
