That doesn't solve the last mile problem, or transport for all the people who live outside of a few dense cities.
Yes it does, if done properly. I have stops for four bus lines within walking distance. During peak hours, buses come once every 15 minutes. Trolleys in the city centre, every 10 minutes. Trams, every two minutes, and always packed. Most of the surrounding villages have bus stops. A lack of perspective is not an excuse.
Well if YOU have a bus stop near you then everyone must! That's just science!
If you build it they will come
Because having a bus to pick up 7 people in a day is really efficient economically and environmentally...
For sure. Just cruising around the countryside on the off chance that someone actually needs the bus that day. They haven't for the past few but they have to go shopping eventually.
Much more so than having a car-centric infrastructure. If you start cherry-picking you'll of course find cases where a car would have been more efficient but public transportation needs to be understood as a whole.
I'm not cherry picking Im just telling you my personal experience and the town I live in
Yeah, all three of them.
