Besides what you mention, buses may be preferable to streetcars in the more "automobilist" settings, like in North America, where there are roads (often wides ones) everywhere and you want the buses to be able to use them. And you're less likely to fill streetcars/trams to capacity, while people are still in their cars.Streetcars/trams are more for those places that have already turned away from automobilism, because now it becomes more urgent to have lots of capacity ready to go at once (since the people are not using cars). And with a good modern tram, perhaps coupled to a second car or more, you can move hundreds of people at once in a relatively comfortable way, unlike buses. Yeah, there's the need for the infrastructure, but presumably that's a priority for such an area. |
