In the past I often travelled by bus, because my ex and I didn't have a car. My husband and I have a car, and we prefer to go by car instead of using the local buses. Some years ago the politicians changed the bus system in my country, and that created a lot of problems, because there are few busses now compared to
earlier. We live in the countryside and if we had to use the local buses we would have to spend a lot of time on transportation. Of course it is possible to live here without a car, but it would make things really complicated!
In July this year we went on holiday in Latvia and Lithuania, and we travelled by train and by bus. We spent 30 hours on the bus, and it was pretty hard. If we have to travel such a long distance again I prefer to go by train or by plane.

I find going around by bus a great way to travel. The buses that I use to travel are on time mostly and I get to wherever I need to go. The only thing I find challenging about riding the bus are the crowds of people who also ride. Sometimes when they board the bus, they stand right in the front of the bus while the rear is barely empty of people and there are seats available. Move people!!! so that others could come on or move further in!!!

I'm now living near my office, so I walk to work. But I like to go by public transport for daily uses, it's out of traffic jam and it's good for environment as well as national economy. However, I prefer metro or tramway whose the ticket is the same with bus ticket.

I had traveled by bus almost daily when I didn't had my vehicle. Now also I do travel by bus for very long distance journeys.

We don't have buses running here. The only buses we have transport children to school. So, no I don't travel by bus.

I used to ride a bus, when I didn't have my own transport and there's no other choice but that. It wasn't all a happy experience as bus ride can be scary at a time (you know how scary riding a big object moving more than 100 km per hour on a busy street) Since I have my own car now, I no longer took a bus ride, even for a long distance journey.
