Apart from driving into the centre they're faster than PT.


Not round here. I write as a car driver, but buses are almost invariably
faster for many local journeys because (a) they have dedicated bus lanes
that avoid the horrendous jams, and (b) no time or money is wasted
trying to find parking places at the destination.


Ok , there will be exceptions. But if you get the bus you still have
to walk to the bus stop and then wait for it to turn up. Which on the
routes near where I live could be anything up to 20 mins on a w/e.
