Because the current B-line buses already cannot meet current demand, especially during rush hour when buses are over-crowded and by-passes of full buses are common.

Let alone increased demand from new residents and businesses downtown, the McMaster Innovation Park and other developments already under construction.

Bus frequency cannot be increased significantly without a change to some sort of higher order rapid transit.

There are an (over) abundance of facts about LRT in Hamilton: three professionally produced studies have been written (by the City, the Province and McMaster). If you reject all the data and analysis in these studies as "guesswork" no amount evidence would ever convince you about anything that doesn't already exist!

And the insufficient level of service provided by buses now and in the future is only half the case; the other half is the economic development argument which is also well laid out by these reports and by examples from dozens of other cities.
