Works reasonably well with Boston's Silver Line which was built as a cheap alternative to a full-blown new metro line. Where that service falls down though is when it is forced to share with on-street traffic. In an Irish context I couldn't see the dedicated busway being accepted - the culture has always favoured the Dublin Bus model with stops every 50 metres. People accept LUAS and DART stops being hundreds of metres apart but not so with buses.
