They're only there, because of the amount of cars on the road.

You are confusing cause, effect and purpose.

Bus lanes don’t exist because buses aren’t viable, they exist to make them reliable. 

Without more priority, buses get delayed by congestion, become unpredictable, and more people stop using them, which increases car traffic. That’s a policy failure, not evidence buses don’t work.
