But aren't guided bus ways a lot cheaper to build and more reliable? And
guided bus ways can become normal buses when they get to the end of the
busway?
Depends what you mean by reliable. Sure if you have a pothole in the busway
it probably won't bring the whole service to a halt like a broken rail would
but on the other hand roads seem to disintegrate far quicker than rail so
more maintenance would ultimately be needed and given that by design a bus
can't run around the roadworks on a busway since its held in place by the
guiderails, any maintenance will force closure of the busway just as on a
railway. Busways are pointless. If you want a road just build a road , not
some poor facsimile of a railway.
