As with any road, the railway has a limit to its capacity. The only way to
increase is to build more.

But then it comes down to scalability of the solution surely? The
trouble with bus scalability is that they share their infrastructure
with the least scalable, in a metropolitan environment, transport in the
form of cars etc. Therefore I would've thought that building more
railways would work better that building more roads (not that you can do
in London anyway).
