Would love to, need more/better trains.
Trains are nice, but the common bus is the workhorse of all transit systems in the world (or almost all - I know of no exception but I don't know everything). For most people a simple frequent bus and useful bus routes/transfers would solve most of their transportation needs. Trains are useful for the core trunks that have a lot of people on them (which also need to be the places roads get too congested for a bus anyway)
Tokyo might be an example? It has plenty of buses, but the trains and subways are definitely the workhorses.
trains would be more efficient but it's much easier to start out with busses
Just got back from San Francisco. Would like that transit system locally, please.
The busses where I live stop every fifteen feet. It’s faster to walk.
There are a lot of bad bus systems in the world. However that isn't the fault of the but. There some great bus systems proving it can be done.
Indeed, there's no one golden bullet that will fix all our problems. It requires multiple vectors, not just for freedom of choice but for redundancy as well.
