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.
Light rail/trams are better especially for avenues etc. But busses are more flexible, and you usually need a combination of both for best results
Buses for longer journeys make sense. We have a bunch of buses in London that run from the city centre out towards the green belt. Buses for those especially long journeys makes sense.
Why not just build a train for long journies? Cheaper over time, more capacity, and reduces road dependency.
