What if I'd be the only one sitting in the bus on the way to work Monday through Friday?

Sounds like the build out of the transit hubs was bungled.

I've seen this happen once or twice in Houston. Tiny lines that go nowhere and are spun up just so municipal government leaders can say "This doesn't work! Build more highways instead!" Our new "Silver Line" is a great example. It was supposed to be a spoke within a larger spoke/wheel build out, but the state sabotaged roll out of the rest of the network.

Meanwhile, we've got a commuter rail line down Main Street (built back in 2012 for the Olympic bid) that's the third most utilized in the country, just because it gets you into downtown without fighting traffic choke points.

The difference in usage is Night and Day.

Serious question: What will replace large, diesel powered semi-trucks (or lorries) for cargo transport?

If you're actually serious, you could replace many of them with something like this: https://www.freightliner.com/trucks/ecascadia/
