The main problem with the geographical bus map is that although it's
easy to see which routes pass near a location, it's hard to follow
routes along the map, and very difficult to work out journeys requiring
a change of bus.

Perhaps what is needed is a combination of the two, with bus routes
laid on top of the tube map, or a Tube-style diagrammatic route map of
the key routes with "hubs" marked and the appropriate spider maps for
those "hubs" on the back?

These are interesting ideas, too:-

Look a bit odd, as they're not to scale, but a very useful map
nonetheless. One showing London's key night buses on top of the
"London Connections" map might be an idea.
