always seemed obvious to me that the reason for the disparity is that european buses are a way to get around dense cities and US buses are a welfare program for residents of sparser cities who can't afford cars. the bus lines don't actually go anywhere people care about, they're their just to provide the bare minimum ability to go somewhere.

the top comment is right and this article is a good exmaple of what transit people do. they get so excited about transit and how awesome it is that they forget about some of the more fundamental issues.

I'm surprised that you're even mentioning this risk. This isn't actually a risk. Anyone who would make an issue of this deserves to be confronted. Your abundance of caution is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
