Classic braindead mentality that is all too prevalent today. "Public transportation is great, we need fewer poors on the road so I can drive to my destination quicker!"
I like the bus. I like transit in general. I'd much rather take a bus than drive.
People are impatient and in a hurry. You'd need a ridiculous amount of buses for them to become time efficient. Once we get into the conversation of driverless busses then you cns make a much stronger argument for them. Until then people would prefer quicker transportation, which is going to be trains and subways.
Explain to me how the freak it's 1000 times easier to travel anywhere by plane than it is by train?
Also you can't even get bus drivers to take kids to school, there's like a ridiculous national shortage of bus drivers. So I'm not sure how anyone could plan on getting the additional number needed to address the public transportation crisis
TLDR freak busses, I want more trains and planes
