The problem with buses (on busy lines), and I don’t see how to overcome it, is that they get full. I’d rather have a slow traffic jam than having to let 3 or 4 buses pass you by because they are full. This is on a line that rides every 7 minutes. But on tuesdays and thursdays, you can’t get a bus from my stop at 5 o’clock.
Yeah, that seems like more than enough activity to scale up to something that can handle more.
Unfortunately trams can have similar shortcomings all too easily, but I guess it’s the next step
Around here, they’re trying the approach of dedicated bus lanes. The claim is that a lot of the time it only takes one bus stuck in traffic to get behind and stuck in that problem. With a dedicated lane, the bus scales a little better, goes a little faster, is a little more likely to be on time.
