On the other hand, buses can adapt to changing needs. You can easily add or move stops where the activity warrants. Rail demands that everything else conform to its physical installation.

Adaptability means unreliability: the fact that bus stops represent minimal investment is part of the reason they don't drive changes in behavior.
