Same here - plus the few buses you do see around here are big old 30+ seater jobs with apparently poorly-maintained diesel engines carrying about 4 people. In the conurbations, and for inter-city travel, of course public transport should always be used in preference to private vehicles, but there's a different model needed in more sparsely-populated areas.
