How about they do one in P.G County? -_-
I don't quite understand... Are they planning for this to be a Ride On specific operation, or is this tying into the whole WMATA scheme of things?
I understand the meeting didn't go on yet, but is this going to cover the entire county, including the Silver Spring area?
As much as I like Ride On, I just don't think that it's designed to harness a BRT type of operation - it's a community bus service, and does a great job at that scope. This is especially the case in the lower part of the county, where WMATA provides a lot of main line service.

I don't have the answers to your questions yet but I do intend to attend the presentation and I will report back.
