> Like run good buses.

you act like people are born with an idea of what "run good busses" means.

how many busses? what models? what schedule? what routes to where? how do you staff them? how do you handle disruptions, strikes, bad weather, fist fights, budget cuts, etc?

there may be some known good solutions there, but how do you know they apply here? Australian public transit approaches aren't necessarily gonna work in frozen Canada, and great solutions for dense cities won't translate to rural.

at some point you're gonna have to figure out what works for your locality, and that may involve trying new things

Ok sure, but this isn't some fucking massive task. And you don't have to invest 100 billion $ and then its fixed forever. You are not trying to set a competitive fab to compete with TSMC. We are talking about running a few buses.

This is a problem universal enough that there is very likely a place very similar in climate and more.

Sure there is some experimentation in the details, but the basics are known and can be implemented if there is a will to implement them. The problem is not some fact finding problem, the problem is the will to do it.

Sure if you want to go from good to great, or outstanding, you need some more experimentation. But even that isn't that hard.
