Per passenger, buses have far fewer tires. Bicycle tires wear down slower than car tires, and are smaller so there is less to wear anyway.

- Robotbeat 5y agoPossibly you’re correct about bikes, but I suspect buses and cars have similar tire wear per passenger mile, with only a slight advantage for buses. Also, rubber biodegrades. Brake dust and rail dust are also concerns.
