So essentially, we've downsized the busses running through suburbia with much smaller, more flexible vehicles. Seeing this as a failure of public transport is a bit short sighted, if anything I think this is a good evolution. Busses are only more efficient when ridership is medium-high. Busses are not commodity in the way cars are, some places have pretty damn old busses, which spews large amounts of diesel particles.
