There are plenty of reasons to prefer trains to buses but the big one for me is that buses are usually run in mixed traffic
-
-
They have to stop to let people on and off, AND they have to deal with traffic lights, intersections, traffic, etc. Absolute nightmare.
-
As you would expect, when people say that Bus Rapid Transit is like "a train on tires," what they mean is that it has an exclusive ROW.
-
Addendum: if you hear about a "Bus Rapid Transit" project that doesn't provide an exclusive ROW, you are being scammed my dude.

our trains are a niche item because standard issue trains in foreign countries are illegal here, thanks FRA regulations
-
we require them to be monstrously overweight and also require them to be built domestically, fucking insane
