Imagine looking at this gorgeous landscape 100 years ago and thinking the best use of it will be strip malls and ugly roads.

I mean most bus lanes are empty most of the time, that's kinda the point, to give buses an otherwise empty lane.
Bus lanes are like bike lanes: they look a lot emptier than they actually are, in terms of throughput of people per hour.
That's the problem, the buses should be constant, maybe we could hook them all together and form like a long line of them.
You're thinking of a train, which would be terribly inefficient if it had to drive 30 feet, stop, drive 30 feet, stop. Drive 30 feet, stop.
Would be much better if they weren't connected, and instead stopped at timed intervals, with a printed schedule to let you know what time to be there.
You know.....like a bus.
Why not a tram? Get the best of both worlds.
Salt Lake City has a few of those! They're pretty great
Yeah but then you have to be in Salt Lake City, the shear concentration of Mormons is enough to make me sick.
