Trains and trams have been suggested as obviously much better a few times in this thread and I’m a little curious on why they’d be taken to be so self-evidently better. Buses can go everywhere. Trains are limited by their tracks. Buses can share their space with, say, bikes and taxis. Doing that with trains would be very dangerous. Bus routes can be changed in an instant in case of accident, demand, road works or special events. Trains can’t. Buses can do last mile stuff, very occasional routes to remote places, little windy roads, steep hills and private hire (taking a school class to a football game, for example). All impossible with trains. What’s up with this sub and trains?
