No, they still have terrible capacity. Does nobody do basic math anymore? And having bus lanes, which can still be blocked, does not make them cheap light-rail

And having bus lanes, which can still be blocked, does not make them cheap light-rail. You also need to upgrade all lights at intersections to allow the bus to override the current signal.
- OrwellianChild 10y agoGreat suggestion! Add light timing to the list. I'm not sure I understand the "terrible capacity" argument. An articulated bus can seat 50-60 people without standing passengers. Are you suggesting that a light rail train holds more? This seems like a solvable problem - just run buses at twice the frequency, no? The point is the right-of-way prevents them from getting stuck in traffic without having to lay expensive off-grade track.
