FWIW I regularly take the bus and find it to be comparable or better than the train for many of the routes I regularly travel. I do have to be more mindful of traffic, but rarely find myself thinking the bus is slow
- kiwijamo 2y agoAm curious as to where this happens. Everywhere I go around the world, train is much faster than buses (a general rule is 2x faster but express trains can be even faster). Anytime there are buses replacing train services, the bus is often at least 2x slower than the equivalent train service (and sometimes they even end up skipping certain low-usage stops for the bus to try and achieve a manageable timetable for the buses). I've not seen anywhere in the world where buses are faster.

Especially embarrassing when it's a holiday you're familiar with, and you just didn't think about it. But I'll admit, that's a niche complaint.
