okay? I wrote out their name multiple times, provided multiple links, and ended the thread by explicitly denying certainty about the conclusion, i.e., I am open to good arguments.

Got it, so it's Hans Klein. You can add me to that list - I have never seen a good argument that beltline rail is good for equity, especially if there's a credible plan to use BRT more broadly/purposefully to solve existing transpo equity concerns instead. Always willing to listen tho.
why "instead"? For all of Klein's talk about BRT being better technology ignoring the inherent operating efficiency of rail, he's obviously not interested in BRT on the beltline. Different locations can warrant different solutions, and in a transit network they can make each other more valuable.
What would BRT or fixed rail on the beltline would do to enhance equity in this city? Never seen any evidence or studies to explain how this a good use of funds. Seems to me trains are expensive, aggravate gentrification, and aren't useful for ppl you claim to want to help.
