It's incredible how poor bus service is in many parts of the world. I'm spoiled in the fact that I have several bus lines that run excellant service during rush hour which is one of the reason why I stopped bike commuting because those drivers were dangerous! I only bike commute to the train station (Lightrail) because the main boulevard becomes a jungle during rush hour.

I took the bus during the winter and had to pray that I didn't get sick because it seemed like everyone was either caughing or sneezing. Did I mention the other day that a bus company had it's small windows opened because there was no A/C! It's illegal for a bus not to have air conditioning anymore because todays buses have very small openings for windows and were not ment to be operated without A/C.
