Where I was going with this is that now you have two transport networks to pay for, roads AND rails.

Roads can fully replace rails with enough busses and special lanes, but rails cannot fully replace roads.

roads can't replace rails b/c rail advantage is geometric; rail can achieve thruput/width impossible on roads

Not sure that will still be true with self-driving busses that can drive very closely together.

the more ppl those buses need to carry per hour in the same space, the more they'll look like trains and need guided tracks
