>>1589942Taxis are great because they pick you up where you are, and drop you off where you need to go. Buses, as a result of not being constrained to tracks, are capable of this as well. Buses today are constrained to routes as well, but it would be relatively simple to get rid of set routes and allow them to run with a dynamic route, picking people up where they are and dropping them where they need to go. This would be highly efficient at getting commuters from suburbs into the city.
If you want people to stop using cars, you have to give them a better option.
