One problem, at least in my area, is that to do anything but use busses requires coordination between multiple local governments and often county governments. Aside from the eminent domain, just planning between these groups is cost prohibitive.

There's been a few light rail projects that would work well on paper and really ease congestion, but because there are so many little fiefdoms they've never gotten off the ground.
