Buses are not always full. Their average capacity does not have an order of magnitude advantage.

  neither are roads. it doesn't matter how full the bus is when the road is empty, but the number of cars that a bus is taking off the road at peak road usage time is pretty close to the full capacity of the bus, in any bus system i've ever ridden.

    This is assuming that everyone who is on the bus would be driving/riding in a car instead, which I'm not sure is true.

    Good point - maybe buses will stay around just for peak usage, but will be replaced by rented, right-sized self-driving cars for the rest of the time.
