Since I was complaining earlier I might as well at least TRY to talk about transit solutions...
You need space for your stops, you need space for transfer facilities, and you need dedicated ROW if your frequency gets high enough.

One more thought on transit solutions--public transit networks are fractals; you use different networks depending on your scale of travel.
-
If any part of the fractal is missing or underdeveloped, all the rest of it suffers. This is a big problem in the USA.
-
The top level of the public transit fractal is air travel. We manage this pretty well, no issues here.
-
Below air travel, though, is a huge "missing middle;" several tiers of transportation are neglected or completely absent.
-
Local bus travel is the bottom level of the public transit fractal, and here the USA at least makes an effort.
-
But local transit isn't much use if it doesn't feed into regional transit, etc, all the way up to global transit. Every level counts.
-
(but US assumption is the missing middle is CARS)
-
sure--part of that mentality...failure to realize that cars and transit are incompatible modes
