In Orange County, we have the same problem. Ever since the cities here shot down the light rail initiative, they decided to introduce regular limited stop service as "bus rapid transit." I call this HAR for Half-Assed Rapid: http://stevenchan.us/weblog/orange-county-transit This isn't even as ambitious as San Francisco's Geary and Van Ness BRT. Our county can't even introduce our own version of even a 38L without political sluggishness. That’s hilarious, Peter. In Orange County, we have the same problem.
