Exactly. When fighting against rail projects, anti-transit voices claim that buses can do everything cheaper and with more flexibility than trains, but when it comes to making buses faster and more efficient by giving them their own lane, expect a fight. For them, the emphasis on buses is a perfunctory way to show that they want to do something for the transit-dependent, but it's really about the supremacy of cars.
