If only most cities could have this today

If I were to speculate, I'd say that perhaps it might only be feasible in small & dense cities with low traffic, as such high frequency requires a lot of resources.

Was born in a small city with frequent public transportation (5-10 minutes for most routes). As I moved to larger & more congested cities, public transport became less convenient and the schedule more erratic.

This exists in many cities. See Bus Rapid Transit and many rail lines. Seattle's network has many instances of this.
