(May 30, 2022 at 3:09 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Buses run a tiny fraction of anywhere in the us.  It would take a lot just for basic service.  That’s not adjusting for time loss due to riders schedules, or conflicting schedules between businesses that would share an employee.

True enough. For large scale mass transit to work in a country the size of the US would require truly massive infrastructure investment, not to mention re-thinking the whole idea of moving people about.
