a city should either do a proper train system, or it should focus on planning for cars. any compromise makes everything worse on all sides. yet people continue to pretend that this is not immediately and clearly true.

it really shouldn't approach this as an either-or situation; plan good transit and accommodate cars, you can do both! But "good transit" means no PRT bullshit
-
put another way--transit doesn't behave like cars do, and attempts to make transit more car-like just undermine it
-
exactly. playing compromise games doesn't help anyone, and usually just wastes money that should be spent on actually useful work

genius, why hasn't anyone thought of this?
-
maybe they could run on their own lanes for safety and reliability. Perhaps we could even make a special kind of lane with a more durable surface like steel so that other vehicles can't use it
-
Hmm, but then you'll have less traction, and thermal expansion of steel means you need joints between segments which means noise.
