    I didn’t mean only stop at destination. Just that the pickup and dropoff are basically the destination, while parking is in some distance lot or garage. The entire routes are bus-only. Cars aren’t allowed on the street at all.

      Right, so an urban area that actually has full transit coverage wouldn’t have that problem. Sadly, that isn’t relevant to the vast majority of the planet.

        Its not possible for the majority of uninhabited land on the planet, but its possible for the majority of people globally that live in urban areas.

            Its possible for every urban area everywhere across the globe, because the laws of geometry are the same across the entire globe.

            In many cities in many countries the conscious choice was made to destroy transit infrastructure and radically alter the urban fabric to accommodate cars (and in so doing hamper every other form of transportation). But nothing about this has anything at all to do with the city’s location, and its not an accident that public transportation just ‘happens’ to be better in some places than in others.
