I prefer them as they are at the moment but then up here there is only the odd problem and they are pretty frequent. Buses every 10-15 mins to Falkirk trains to Glasgow-Edinburgh-Stirling every 15-30 mins depending on which station I use. Yes there could be improvements but sometimes private ownership can bring out the best as well as the worst in them. As it stands the traffic is that bad and heavy on roads that it dosnt matter if its bus or car you use. Even getting to the train station is governed by the amount of traffic so it might be considered a poisoned chalice to take it on.
