The problem is that while bus service may be more efficient, most people say if I’m going to take a bus, I might as well drive.

And in Most inner-cities, unionized bus drivers make more than most AIRLINE PILOTS, with incredibly huge retirement packages.

Understood.

I'm thinking about bus service along the lines of an exclusive bus lane where buses operate outside the normal flow of traffic. I've posted a few examples below.

One reason why bus service is usually so poor in many urban areas is that the buses operate in mixed traffic and the process of picking up and dropping off passengers makes it all so time-consuming. These systems as I've shown here help the buses operate far more efficiently than your typical city bus.
