I'm too tired to respond much but I will say the two best ways to get people out of their cars come down to rail and density. Each increase in service appeal enough for drivers to ditch their vehicles with rail being near the top. Also, for the record, all public transportation is a net negative with good rail being the cheapest per boarding. I do like the platooning buses idea and think it will be best for some corridors. Rail will still provide better up zoning possibilities with their permanent stations. People's desires to live close to transportation hubs are not going away.
