Why is the word "Bus" a dirty word on this forum and railroad.net?

<p>RBT comes in different variations. The planned system for Austin is different than the system in Eugene, Oregon, which is different from San Antonio. DART is planning RBT along Preston Road in Dallas. None of these systems run or will run on an exclusive right-of-way. The only RBT that I know of that has an exclusive right-of-way is in Adelaide, South Australia. Nevertheless, RBT on a semi-dedicated right-of-way appears to be a good solution for many areas.</p> <p>Enthusiasts, i.e. transportation, education, etc., have a tendency to adopt a solution before having framed the problem. They become solutions chasing a problem. And all too often they don't put any realistic numbers with their solution. Not a good idea.</p> <p>The United States is a vast country. It has the third largest population in the world. And it is a very diverse country by almost every measure. To assume that there is a one size fits all transport solution, i.e. a true definition of RBT, is unrealistic.</p>
