No need to look around for parking spaces etc. 1 bus can have 50-100 people on it. It's about the size of 2 cars (since they need space between them) which usually would have 1 or possibly 2 people in it. You could have enough buses going around for people to catch them every 2 minutes but it would be better to have express buses etc that don't stop between point A and B as well as normal buses that do. So if you need to get to the other side of town, you can take a bus that goes straight there. You can even do so and then take another buss that leaves from there and goes 8 blocks away (but stops at many points). This could save you like 15-20 minutes travel and you would basically get there as fast as driving. And thats without even factoring in train/light rail etc systems as well. Honestly you could easily set up a system for any city that would enable people to get from point A to point B about as fast as driving, without needing a car at all. Short trips would use the bus that stops every block or two, long trips would use an express bus and possibly a transfer to a slow one. Really long trips would use a light rail system to a bus. All public transportation would be so cheap everyone would just buy passes. A full pass (any bus/light rail etc) would be something like $40 a month. Way cheaper then gas, insurance, registration, repairs, parking etc. And if everyone was using it, it would be more then enough to keep the system going. Each bus/train would carry a few thousand people a day easily, which means at 40$ a month, that is a few thousand dollars per month profit (even after gas/wages/repairs). And that doesn't even start to touch on other forms of transportation like bicycles/scooters and the possibility of adding those to the pass as well (bikes available for people to use, and drop of at another station all over, and scooters as well, with the same setup). There is absolutely no reason to have the system we do now. --- "did you steal my f*in signature" Helly <cite>wolfy42 posted [p:912990415] in once you h...
