Shouldn't we be switching buses with light railway? - lemmy.tf

Even if you think what would you would say is obvious, please add. This is genuinely something I think makes sense given the longevity of light rail and how infrequently routes change, but I also suffer from confirmation bias, so I’m hoping for reasons this would be a terrible idea.

But why put them on rails? As a kid I remember busses running on electricity from cables that were located above them. Isn’t that the best of all versions?
They still have those buses in Dayton, Ohio.
