Hamilton area transit

[Markster]

Not always, but usually, BRT systems are considered upgradeable to LRT. I wonder if a to-the-mountain route would be too steep for this to ever be the case?

Looking at Ottawa, you see that "upgradeable" is a pretty loose term. Some parts of the line are being rerouted quite heavily as part of the upgrade.

BRT up the mountain will be different from LRT up the mountain. I would not be surprised if LRT up the mountain did something like become elevated as it approaches the mountain, and then enter a portal into the side of the mountain, to become a subway for 1 stop before resurfacing. LINK Light Rail in Seattle does something like this.
