Bzzzt. Wrong, unless you literally have a bus that goes from A to B without stopping. City buses do not carry "x passengers", they serve trips. An 80-passenger bus serves way more trips than 80 (though not on average of course), as people can freely get on and off at any time.

And of course, there are way more aspects of this problem than just road wear, parking space for one.

But sure, we absolutely should put buses on rail tracks!
