	Criticism of BRT doesn't match reality - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		A simple description of BRT is getting the most out of buses and roads working together, and it is done all around the world.
		BRT still has all the advantages it had when the plan was selected in 2001 by the City Council and then included in the OMPO Regional Plan.

		BRT is a broad term given to a variety of different transportation solutions that operate through the usage of buses.

	"Misguided Bus"? Nancy's BRT Debacle Exposes Pitfalls of "Half-Price Tramway"
		In communities considering LRT vs. other possible alternatives like BRT, these design elements may need to be reevaluated, and reduced or eliminated, if LRT is to be assessed on a level playing field with such bus alternatives.
		One possibility would be to offer a kind of "2-tier" LRT approach – either the "grand package" with urban makeover, or a more modest streetcar-style (or barebones interurban) system which just seeks to make a fundamental transportation improvement, reduce operating cost, and cut out the fat.
		By and large, the full cost of paveway construction and maintenance does not appear be allocated to the bus service in all cases, particularly when a portion of the route uses public streets – unlike the case with LRT, where strict accounting of costs is the norm.
