Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.

I don’t know anyone who would claim the bus is “popular”.

I think they’re making the point that in lots of places where public transit is good, people use it just because they then don’t have to deal with traffic and driving themselves.
