The bendy busses will continue to be built until morale improves.

Sudden urge to lower morale so more bendy busses happen. Maybe bendier busses!

Almost any public transit is better than no transit, but yeah.

Of course, and busses (or at least trolley buses) are and for all of the foreseeable future will continue to be the best form of mass transport for rural, near rural, towns, and suburbs. I’m just jaded by politicians who seem to think that a big bus completely equivalent to a tram or light rail, and despise thouse who take half decent tram proposals and downgrade them once more into f-ing BRT, which is at best a slightly cheaper to build worse tram, and which rarely live up to even that goal.
