Buses are £2 per journey or you can get a day ticket for a fiver.Public transport is deliberately kept shit and expensive as the people who make decisions don't use it, but are driven around in chauffeured limousines with police escorts. Petrol duty has not been raised now for some years. If only we could say the same of train fares!
With the apps that track the vehicles, buy a ticket and even show how full it is, there’s never been a better time for buses since deregulation.Buses are £2 per journey or you can get a day ticket for a fiver.
You can get combined bus/tram/train tickets for a bit more.
Benefits are
No struggling to find a parking space.
You can have a drink or 3 without worrying.
No purchase price or running costs.
The benefits far outweigh the minuses.

I suppose if people don’t use them then they can’t run them unless subsidised and that just won’t happen. The argument I guess is that the further away from city or town you live, the better the surroundings but at a price, the price being you are further away from work, shops and entertainment. Can’t really have it both ways.Depends where you live.
People living in outlying villages often only have only a few busses per day, which don't often run particularly early or late. When I lived in my previous house there was 4 busses per day on weekdays, 2 on Saturday and none on Sundays.
Weekday busses were 0705, 1105, 1505 & 1905 which was no use to anyone with a normal 9 to 5 job
Even if that did work in practice, which it demonstrably doesn't work in reality... what is the ultimate end point to this fallacy of never ending economic growth achieved by never ending population growth?

The question is why would you!Buses are fine if I want to go to Bury.
They're absolutely shite if I want to go to (say) Shrewsbury or York. And for some journeys, they simply do not exist. For example, try going to Barnsley or Sheffield by bus. Good luck with that.
True, York is an absolute dump.The question is why would you!
