  … But it’s not efficient for a bus to not be as full as possible. You’re paying more per person per kilometer.

    Cars also aren’t efficient though? I feel like there could be some compromise.

      Cars aren’t paid for by taxpayers. Roads are, true, but then both buses and cars need those anyway and buses do far more damage.
