Ah...that makes sense and explains it AOF, I totally missed that in Chrisjo's Link.
Here is what I don't understand and maybe its just me. I can't wrap my head around this idea as it seems to be a financial waste of money. It must cost millions if not more to construct the miles of special roadway and station stops not even factoring in the cost of land purchases and right-of-way costs. Plus you have to add in all the costs of specially equipping the Buses that will use it. I just don't see any feasibility of justifying all that expense with little return...I must be missing something. Then there is all the maintenance associated with the care for the roadways and the station stops and what about the cost of maintaining those side wheel roller guides on all the Buses?
Seems to me that since they are still paying the driver and the fact that there are already regular roads built that this is a total waste of money. Add to that the savings of fitting the buses with special side roller wheels, I just don't get it.
What am I missing?
