Only 12? Maybe at off-peak hours. In my city at peak hours, an articulated bus can have as many as ~70 people in it. At an average private vehicle occupancy of 1.67 [2] that's over 40 cars less on the road. People also need to realize that before bitching about cyclists. Would you really rather have one more car contributing to the traffic jam you're stuck in?
