Agreed. Oxford Street would be far better *without* the stream of
slow-moving buses and narrow pavements. There has to be a better way

As to the smell of cars vs. buses, I see what the poster means. Brand
new buses generally have low emissions. Old ones don't - and the car
"fleet" is getting newer a lot quicker than the bus fleet. The use of
old crap that's long overdue a single to the scrapyard is one of the
major problems with the Oxford Road farce.
