I found it interesting that on the last season of Top Gear, the famously anti-bicycle, anti-bus, etc Clarkson actually rode around London on a bike for an afternoon. Now, it is a comedy show and Clarkson is playing a part to large extent, but it was interesting that the main thing he said was that drivers were all uniformly courteous and understanding, but the bus drivers were all homicidal maniacs that seemed to be actually TRYING to kill him.
