Busses take forever because they stop at every block and only drive predetermined routes. It turns every 10 minute drive by car to an hour+ long trip which doesn’t work with our culture where people need to work 16 jobs in order to get by.
You might as well be arguing for transporter technology as that’s just as likely as a solution.
Buses are slow because of the traffic caused by cars, and have few routes because of the number of people using cars instead. Getting rid of the cars solves the bus problems, genius.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a city bus stuck in a traffic jam which is the only way cars would slow them down. They’re slow because they’re stopping every block and only come so often so each transfer comes with a 15+ minute wait. This is the same reason Amtrak is slow and they don’t have to deal with traffic either.
