Well, the point certainly isn't to be either underground or not. It's to provide a mode of short-run urban transit that is pleasant and easy enough to use that people and businesses alike will value and welcome it. It should of course be clean, quiet, and efficient as well - something that can fit comfortably between walking or biking and -- in DC's case -- taking Metro.

How many boxes can buses check?
The question wasn't: "What can it do that metro's current buses don't". The question was: "What can it do that a bus can't"

It can hold a lot more people than buses which is why they were going to put streetcars on Columbia Pike.
More importantly, buses don't drive development. If that were the case H Street would be a lot nicer already with all the buses it has. People PREFER trains over buses and thats why it drives development more than anything. Sorry if you think that's stupid but it's the truth. And frankly I wouldn't ride the X2 bus myself if my life depended on it.

So you were meaning some form of bus that doesn't actually exist yet? One that was pleasant and easy enough to use that people and businesses alike would value and welcome it. And that was clean, quiet, and efficient as well? Maybe one day.

Just because you have never seen this form of bus, that does not mean it doesn't exist.
Isn't that what the new Bridgj bus is? Even though it seats about 10-15 ppl, it's a realtime and dynamic.
A scaled up version of Uber. Hotel shuttles as mass transit. MetroAccess for the masses. I don't really see much of a future here. But of course, I could always be wrong.
My dream metro line is a red line that functions with very few problems.
