I still like high speed buses

There is no reason not to have dedicated lanes for buses on LA freeways, in which top speeds of 160 MPH can be reached. Buses, even BRT, could easily collect $20 per ticket, making an amazing, high energy efficiency commute. Passenger loads should support revenue income of $1,000 per day per bus. Converting lanes may mean better paving for speed, but conversion cost are $10 million per mile or less. But, a thousand buses runing a day is a million a day, enough to cover.

High speed buses, even high speed freight, can also navigate city streets at lower speed, a huge advantage.
