Trains are faster than traffic.

Buses and trams are slower as they're still in traffic, and now have to stop every 500 m to pick up or drop off passengers.

I'll usually take an uber if I actually need to get somewhere on time and it's not near a train station.

Exclusive bus lanes with special traffic light queue-jumping makes this a more even comparison and costs a lot less than rail.
