The idea of spending hundreds of millions to construct dedicated busways, to then convert into light rail lines is one of the most foolish ever.  Ottawa would have been better off building that transitway as light rail, right from the beginning.  History has now proven that the construction of the transitway cost just as much as light rail.  If they ever convert it (I doubt this will ever happen), the taxpayers of that community will have ended up paying for two systems.
