I don't use them, but I have been impressed by the bus rapid transit lines through the Valley: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Line_(Los_Angeles_Metro) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Line_(Los_Angeles_Metro) They run on dedicated right-of-way. Not just their own lane, but their own road. Not as nice as a subway, but approaching it.
