As a regular HSR user, the first thing I'd like them to address are the overcrowded buses on particular routes at particular times. For example, the Delaware 5 heading into downtown; they need articulated buses in the mornings and late afternoon, both ways. Ditto for the Barton 2 and the University 51. (The situation for Mac riders is both shamedil and embarrassing.) Before new routes are even considered, I'd like the HSR to improve the effectiveness of these routes (and others). If they can't properly take care of what they currently have, then they have no business expanding. This may not sit well with residents in other parts of the city, but when it comes down to it, fares on these routes essentially support theirs.

Riders on these routes aren't looking for state-of-the-art comfort, or a reduction in travel time. They're looking for a more humane journey. (And I have to point out that this is entirely independent of LRT.)

I'd like to see equal amounts of energies and consideration given to conventional HSR service as had been afforded the LRT discussion.

Or, in the words of that Heinz Beans kid from a commercial waaaaay back in time:

"More HSR, please."
