So why didn't you quote the entire sentence then?Actually, my post was to dispel this myth that people inherently prefer streetcars. In another thread, MisterF said "all things being equal, people prefer rail". The researchers dispel this.
Of course it makes perfect sense that people would prefer rail if it offered a higher quality of service. If the bus offers higher quality of service over rail (and it happens) it would go the other way around.
Good bus service is good bus service, but many people would rather take rail with a dedicated right of way than standard TTC bus. You can substitute BRT for that "rail with a dedicated right of way" but unfortunately we don't seem to have much of that in Toronto.
