Roads designed for buses (and trucks) also cost many orders of magnitude more than ones build for cars only.

If you account for that, cost per passenger mile on fully loaded electric bus is more than uber chauffeur.

Source? You can have many buses using a single BRT lane which is much cheaper to build and maintain than the number of lanes you would need to move the same number of people in private vehicles. Even more so once you start building grade-separated highways and their off ramps.
