The "reinventing trains" crowd when seeing a bus:

> hurhurhur yeah and maybe also connect those "pods" to be more efficient, oh and maybe also put them on some kind of tracks so that they don't need separate drivers.

It's peak internet activism when the loudest proponents of the mode of transportation based entirely on the economy of scale don't understand the economy of scale.

@Amikke I saw a video about a Midwest USA city (I forget which one) decided to build a "rapid transit" bus system partially in separated rights of way. They built the bus system instead of a tram line because "we have access to plenty of local road builders and there's almost no one nearby who can build railways."
