How Sydney destroyed its trams for love of the car

And, to be honest, while buses may not be stuck on rails, the process to change a bus route is almost never less than a few months and can take much longer.

It will always take less time to change a bus line than a train line - but this isn't a difference of hours vs. years, it's months vs. even more months.

It’s pretty quick when the (tram|bus) in front has stalled out.

Trams will have relief route loops, but they’re never in the most ideal location.
