Since we have on-chain transactions and Lightning now, it's even more obvious that the Blockchain can be compared to a court and less to a bus.

Lightning is showing us how the bus comparison is not necessarily true. And a Lightning transaction also can't be compared to park and ride since many additional people would be brought to the park and ride to take the bus afterwards.
But that doesn't work for the Blockchain. Lightning is "consolidating" transactions and settling it by broadcasting it to the Blockchain. We can't do that with additional people going into a bus. 

In my opinion, the court analogy is more accurate.
