The Green Line takes forever. This is a cheap, temporary, interim solution, while waiting for things to get done. New routes and extensions would simply require traffic signal upgrades and lane additions/adjustments for transit-only. See plans for the Centre Street MAX Corridor for an idea. https://www.calgary.ca/planning/projects/transit-north-central-brt.html
To be effective, the BRT routes would need to have separate lanes, priority signals, and bus-only access in some places. A bit of a fantasy, but actually feasible. It also would happen to include future development plans, such as 17Ave SE being upgraded to Chestermere, new communities in the central North and in the SW.
Some existing MAX routes can be more effective if they had fewer stops, especially where they share part or most of a route with another line. E.G. Route 1 (Forest Lawn/Bowness) and MAX Purple share a route from downtown until 52 St SE. The MAX Purple can skip most of Inglewood so it is a faster option and more appealing to people in Chestermere
