- Are you enjoying today’s marathon transit-debate coverage? Not yet exhausted to the point that you can no longer tell the difference between an LRT, a BRT, an SRT, an MOU, or any other of the fantastic array of three-letter abbreviations that have helped consume so much of our attention over the past few hours?
