We can also make the bus smaller. And to give the passengers more agency, we can let them drive it. Instead of paying bus fare every time they board, they can pay a larger up-front cost for this bus, and of course, ongoing gas & maintenance. To make sure they don't pose a danger to others, they can also purchase insurance, and of course have some sort of license to operate it.
We can't forget to add more lanes to support all of these new buses on the road, we need to keep our drive time low!
Not to mention we need places to park these buses. We should require every commercial location to have multi-level parking decks so that there is ample parking.
That's ludicrous. Think of the property values that would be decreased by thusly besmirching the precious skyline! Instead, we should mandate that people build out, wider & longer, rather than taller. Commercial locations should have parking lots for these microbuses (should really come up with a better name for them, too.)
We should also quadruple the road space, so that these buses don't just sit in gridlock all day.
