Thats partly because bus fare (at least here in the north) has been going up just as fast as petrol prices. As my current place pays overtime I would need the cost of petrol to go up to 5gbp/litre (~$40/gal) without an increase in the cost of the bus to make catching it worthwhile, factoring in the longer trip times. Decent wifi and a nicer bus would certainly change my view on the tradeoff though. The sooner they make the top deck a first class, recliner seating, no child zone the better :)
