Okay, now that I am no longer "dead" from moving boxes, let me do that again...
60 routes (we have more then 60 so this is an estimate) and 45 minute headways (some are more frequent) comes out to one bus every 45 seconds.

Really funny? Yeah, every 45 seconds is the exact "standard" the BRT lobby is using to "prove" the buses "could" carry as much as LRT, and run even closer headways. Remember these are the same guys that tell us, "It's just like rail, only cheaper" (perhaps they should look up the defination of the word "CHEAP"). Once you've bought that argument, condsider their slogan, "Think Rail and Ride the Bus". Golly Miss Jane, we done gradgeeated the 3Rd grade!"
