Caveat first - this thread is in no way serious and is aimed at the bringing of joy to this community!

Reasons why cars are better than buses:
1. You don't have to wait for your car to arrive
2. You always get a seat in your car
3. The seat isn't next to a stranger who may have some very odd habits
4. You don't have to stand up in your car
5. Your car never sets off before you sit down
6. Your car doesn't stop every 2 minutes at places you don't want to go
7. Your car takes you all the way home instead of somewhere nearby
8. You can play your own music in your car instead of listening to someone elses on their MP3 player at a very loud volume

Please add to the list :D

10. or threatened
11. or assaulted
12. or have a burger eaten near your ear
13. or listen to someone else's screaming kids...
14. or their inane conversation
15. or find you caught the wrong car

Although I like the idea that if you stand on your driveway for 45 minutes late for a meeting, three cars will appear at once

The last time I used a bus some poor kid had crapped his pants and I was subjected to the stench for 15 minutes. Never again.

25. You don't stand up with chewing gum stuck to your bum.
26. No one to sneeze all over you, so you end up being sick for days.
27. You have your own climate control, so you don't have to freeze every time the bus stops and the doors open.

30. If you crash your car you won't crack your skull open on a metal railing.
31. Cars have suspension.
32. When a car goes round a corner it doesn't lurch into another time zone.
33. If you have a car, you can pull. Asking a prospective date where the nearest bus stop to their house is won't get you laid.
34. You can walk faster than a bus FFS!
35. Your car's windows and dashboard don't vibrate like a faulty washing machine when the engine is on.

36. (because somebody miscounted you know who you are! )

You don't have to stand for 5 minutes while some uppity driver explains to the woman in front that her 6 month old baby cannot travel free on the 0-18 and over 65 travel free rule because the baby hasn't got any photo id according to the new rules that were not advertised in advance.
