It isn't impossible. People would be more than happy to use public transit for e.g. commuting, if metro made public transit for commuting. I wouldn't mind the HOV lane being buses-only and having ramps to bused-only lanes/roads if it also meant busses were faster and highways only needed 2 lanes of travel lanes instead of 4+. The problem is there's no money in doing it until you get enough ridership, and your not going to get ridership from "tweaking" the routes like most cities try. And no one wants to spend more tax money on the homeless transportation plan. It's just a shitshow, and there won't be improvement until the chicken and egg cycle can be broken.
