[quote user="ontheBNSF"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div>Why couldn't you just run the 100 people in their cars single file in a single lane?  That is kind of what the bus would be doing.  </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote> you end up with this thing called gridlock and congestion thus you need more lanes. You are trying to go against simple geography.  <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Gridlock is just a word for a lack of capacity.  That can happen with any form of transportation.  You have to consider that although you can compress more people into a rail line flow than a highway lane flow, the rail line costs a lot more than a traffic lane.  And you need a train too.   And moving people is not just like moving high tonnage bulk materials when it comes to efficiency.   But suppose you had rail everywhere people wanted to go, any time they wanted to ride.  What percentage of people driving cars would quit driving and ride rail?
