Even just purely by bus, London is night and day different from any American city. You rarely have to wait more than 10 minutes for a bus, and often they come just a few minutes apart. Now, like the GP, I also cycle around London, and it is by far the best way to get through central London during rush hour, but bus drivers here are aggressive and they tend to be quite a bit more efficient than their sparsely populated American counter-parts who are brow-beaten into submission by aggressive American sedan drivers who've never heard of public transportation or sharing the road.
