Because on the long run it doesn't work.
The city of Lima, Peru, has a system of informal buses which go through the city in different routes, and charge an extremely low price.
On the surface, it works well, but it suffers a tremendous problem of lack of coordination which leads to huge systemic inefficiencies.
The government of Lima is fighting back by improving the public transport infrastructure, but it's a project that will take decades.

- Daishiman 12y agoI'm saying it is objectively worse than the cities which have coordinated, centralized and effective public transportation systems and the overall cost in lack of regulation, pollution, noise, and other factors is much greater than the alternatives.
