Only in totalitarian dystopias.

I have been in socialist countries with diesel buses traveling empty everywhere most of the time. Then at peak hours getting full.

The theory was that they are much more efficient, and they are when they are full and you are transported like cattle, not moving directly where you want, and having to wait for them.

Bicycles or motorcycles are much better for moving around the city.
