Why do people think the tram/subway experience is any better than a bus?
As someone who uses both frequently, I can tell you that a subway is flat out better than a bus.
More reliable schedule, less frequent stops, smoother ride, no worries about catching lights or traffic.

Exactly. Busses suck because they share the same travel lanes with cars, meaning they will ALWAYS be slower than driving. Subways and proper light rail projects don’t. They have dedicated travel ways that agoid traffic lights and accidents meaning they at least have the possibility to be faster than driving.

I should say “why do southern flat out refuse to ride the boss, while bitching about higher taxes, but will ride on train system that will cost 100x more for basically the same experience?”
