Anywhere a BRT is viable is likely able to support a tram. Longer distances than that and light rail starts becoming feasable. Long hauls can be done by high speed rail.

A no point did i say to rip out every car lane so you can still do your landscaping and dump runs.

A 24 hour service would be nice where demand can support it. Not every run has to be profitable, some runs will always be busier than others but transit shouldn't be about profits, it should be about connectivity.
