The only thing rice is good at is being a cheap source of nutrition.
Nutrition is the point of eating, getting started isn't the point of public transport.
Any actual competent government cares about the long run, not just how fast to get started.
And even then, if you do a 'full' BRT its quite expensive. Its really just normal buses with some minimal priority that is much cheaper to get started.
And if you know its a route that eventually will have to get upgraded, its actually more expensive to first do the BRT and then upgrade.
