&gt;We can&#x27;t go on being a nation that takes decades to build minor transit improvements due to walls of paper.<p>The sad thing is, the minor transmit improvements are lauded as &quot;marvels&quot;. Being recently back from Hong Kong, taking 15 years to build a 2-mile bus route just doesn&#x27;t impress me.<p>And when you consider that a system like this (only far more extensive) is already in place in Bogotá [0] and has been for about 15 years... well, this little 2 mile stretch seems a bit underwhelming.<p>Don&#x27;t get me wrong, I&#x27;m happy SF is improving transit. I just wish it didn&#x27;t take decades because it seems like other solutions are likely to come about in the mean time, which means wasted time.<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.streetfilms.org&#x2F;bus-rapid-transit-bogota&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.streetfilms.org&#x2F;bus-rapid-transit-bogota&#x2F;</a>
