Ik that trams are not always full but even if they are only 1/3 full they still fit more people than 5 lane road of the same lenght. They are much more environmentally friendly too.

I don’t see this as a popular solution anymore. It doesn’t address the issue of transfers and the last mile problem. Autonomous rides hare vehicles seems like the next logical step. When enough vehicles are autonomous we can double travel speed and increase safety by 10fold.
Autonomous vehicles still take up a lot of space, and with more public transit stops, the last mile becomes the last 100 yards, which you can easily walk. Or if it really is a mile, you can hop on a shared bike or escooter.
Or even better, trams with dedicated space for bicycles so you can take your bicycle wherever you want.
