Why are trains better than buses? Bus rapid transit is super cost effective and can be quite metrolike

    Trains and busses are good. Both are good actually, I like both

    I agree that both is good. Railroads can be expensive to build. But train stations can also be hubs for bus transit. Everyone who needs to, takes the train to one of the many stations and can then hop on a bus to one of the even more many-er stations.

    It's the only thing I like about my country's capital city. It's kinda car focused (which means it's kinda shitty for pedestrians AND cars, yaay), but at least you can take one or two buses or trams from the train stations to any other part of the city.
