Hiring takes time. It also required a lot more money than was budgeted because you need people who don't have a 9-5. And lastly, not everyone lives in the city where there are buses.

Buses can function fine in towns as long as the town is designed well. Very few people live in areas too rural for public transportation to function.

as long as the town is designed well.

Unfortunately I have to live in the real world where towns aren't designed well. Besides, the average yard in my neighborhood is 3.5 acres so general purpose public transportation wouldn't work either.

Change happens iteratively. The first step is to acknowledge the problem and adjust how future development is planned. Start with the town center and move outward from there. Giving up fixes nothing.

Yeah, in theory sure. We live in reality though

No in practice actually.
