everyone knows the theory of public transport, however you are forgetting
the disadvantages of bus use, that's what puts most people off.

You'd be talking about the smell of stale cigarette smoke, the smell of
diesel fumes, the condensation covered windows, and most importantly, the
knife wielding maniacs and tight-permed chain-smoking scouse pensioners
who commonly use buses ;-)

At the risk of being unkind, I keep remembering something someone told
me...

"I was late for the bus, and ended up getting on the bus which contained
people, who rather than use the bus because it's the environmentally
friendly option, use the bus because they've got no other option."
