BRT does cost less than LRT, but only in capital costs. Once built, BRT is significantly more expensive to operate for the same capacity requirements.

Any money coming from higher levels of government will ONLY be for capital costs. Higher levels of government never contribute to operating costs.

If the corridor warrants higher capacity, BRT's initial construction cost will leave the municipality with a greater operating cost year after year. It is better to spend a little more, where the province chips in to ease that cost, and be left with a system that costs less to operate.
