I find the number of people using the buses is high, but not enough of a detriment to consider driving. Plus, the buses seem to move faster than the vehicles, given they usually have the right lane available to them anyways in the morning and after work. Really, it's like getting a personal chauffeur.
I see Calgarians commuting with only ONE person in their vehicles, and I'm appalled. Where is the car pooling? Where are the energy-saving vehicles? We consume so much, it's ridiculous, really.
