I love light rail, but it takes much more of an investment. If people would be fined for blocking buses, it might make it a better alternative.
EDIT: The other comment here is right, a bus line won't compete with trains for capacity.
- CaptainZapp 11y agoActually they're doing just that. In essence using high capacity buses on designated tracks, which are physically separated from the road. As a user it feels like a mixture between metro and bus, while being much, much cheaper to implement than a designated metro, or light rail system. I used it in Lima and was pretty impressed about its efficiency. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Metropolitano http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Metropolitano
