You're right! I stand corrected. Thank you.
Here's a quotation I found: "When discussing road wear cars don't matter: road damage is effectively caused by trucks"

What if I change it to: more small buses running more often? Maybe that addresses the problem of buses stopping absurdly often too.
- mikeash 10y agoI love the idea of small buses running more often. Tear up the roads less, produce less noise, better schedules, win all around except for cost. Maybe autonomous vehicles can solve that. Elon Musk has talked about doing this with Tesla. I wonder how much easier it would be to program a small autonomous bus to follow a single route, compared to solving the problem of autonomous driving in general.
