    Just look at any Japanese or Indian train to see how space efficient they are able to transport petiole

    “Space efficient” is a very kind euphemism for “being packed cheek by jowl and smelling what everyone had for lunch.”

      Just add more buses in that case. This is the good kind of induced demand.

      Even then, in a well designed city, there are enough viable alternatives when buses get too crowded (walking, cycling, trains, even a slightly different bus route).

        I know plenty of ugly disgusting rich people and would also not like to smell them or feel them rubbing against me.
