>Or you could say fuck it, the results are what matter most, I just want to get from point A to point B. You don't get an opportunity to bring the system to a halt so you can have an epic showdown that solves nothing. But on the other hand, everything runs better.
>Rational, cool headed results-oriented technocrats will obviously choose the second. But a lot of people are not rational. They are motivated by feelings and nothing but feelings. They crave confrontation and they want to see a showdown between the "good guys" and the "bad guys". So they'll gladly make everything worse just to scratch that itch.

Even if buses went directly to and from where you wanted to be without excessive stops, transfers, and delays (which, by the way, they don't), quality matters. Transit advocates know this—if going from point A to B was the priority, then in most cities trains shouldn't be built at all, bus line with a few BRT lines should do the trick (the "Randall O'Toole approach") and normal people know this too—they want a safe, orderly trip without screaming homeless people or people playing shitty music on their phones with the volume all the way up; as a result, most people in the United States drive if they can afford it.
