Wow. Brillant video. Just to clear some things up for Peyton and JTA, regarding BRT and commuter rail. Commuter and light rail are two completely different systems. Commuter rail travels on existing railroad tracks. Because of this, commuter rail cost between $2 to $10 million per mile compared with JTA's BRT (estimated to cost $21 million/mile in 2004) or light rail ($30 to $40 million/mile). Also Ottawa's BRT system, which is promoted by JTA as a what they envision ours to be, cost nearly $50 million/mile.
Peyton clearly can't do two questions on the same subject You can't allow him to stick to prepared statements but still great job Anyone will beat him in a debate thats clear!!!

Ha. Well done. Sounds like many people had strong issues with him.
Someone should email them a link or send a copy of the commuter rail study.

Don't worry, we're working on it. Plus, when that email goes out, its going to be sent to several others in position of influence.
