@pwaring@Edent Sociologically(?); there are a huge bunch of people who will refuse to ever get on a bus. But they consider trams to be 'not buses' so it's OK to get a tram.
@tpuddle@Edent I agree, and that's probably why buses don't get the attention that they deserve from politicians (e.g. increasing the fares by 50% - if you did that on commuter rail into London you'd be attacked in every single press outlet).
