I had the opportunity to compare the posted schedules for a light rail train and a bus, between the same two points. This is the Bay Area. The points were the Winchester light rail station (in Campbell) and the Lockheed campus, near Moffett. There's a bus that goes the same places with a vastly longer route, and of course many more stops. The times were the same: about an hour. If you were driving, you'd take freeways, and even in rush hour traffic it would be less than an hour. San Jose light rail is, by nearly all metrics, the worst in the country, so you can see why: it's terrible.
