Why is it that the bus is so much cheaper now than the train?
Anyone can explain?
How much do you think buses are replacing train travel within the UK and Europe? Why?
When did this really start to happen?

I don't think it is, and judging by the number of serious coach crashes we've had (UK) recently, people are not being encouraged to do so when trains and planes are so much quicker even if far more expensive - but they have far higher operating expenses ! ! !

It is not replacing it is only cheaper. They are building new trains and tracks as we type.

Because it's a cheaper form of transport.
