It's very workable already. Give it priority and separate lanes where possible, consider giving them exclusive use of roads in some areas, prioritise frequency over speed, maintain the vehicles regularly and replace them eventually. Finally, provide dedicated on-demand transport for people with special needs. The end. It works.

Give it priority and separate lanes where possible, consider giving them exclusive use of roads in some areas, prioritise frequency over speed, maintain the vehicles regularly and replace them eventually. Finally, provide dedicated on-demand transport for people with special needs. The end. It works. Many of the things you list are missing in mass transit systems across the US. That deficit being filled would make the system workable for many more people. It's s likely that workable was a poor choice of words and a more apt statement would be something along the lines of, "Mass transit as it is currently deployed across the United States requires a number of fixes to make it a more viable daily alternative."
