LA already has some BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) lines like you describe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Metro_Busway

These systems operate mostly in dedicated right-of-way. There are more planned. I think they have been quite successful, for the reasons you describe.

They are not ideal though. Travel times can be close to double using the orange line.

It's something I imagine people using only they're not in a hurry or can't drive for whatever reason.
