"RAILROAD
No train!"

—You

I don't know how it works in high-falutin' coastal cities nor yurop, since I'm just a flyover, but in my parts there's a lot more road than there is bus, and not just on the big routes, but on all of 'em. In fact, I've never even seen a bus route where there was even so much as half as many feet of bus as there was of road. Based on your comment, I take it that your city runs a bumper-to-bumper infinite loop train of several thousand buses like a gigantic, diesel-powered, horizontal paternoster lift?
