Probably both unreliable. Metro is quicker, so in a rush, yeah Metro, taking my time I'll save the money and go on the bus.
Had to suffer two Stagecoach journeys recently because of the GNE strike, awful. Late (about 15 mins each occasion) shit buses (melted seat backs, flaky paint on the handrails). Much happier with other companies and even the Metro as required.
So much rush...if the bus is £6 and the Metro is £100 (day tickets) Metro still win because it's quicker?
But it's not though is it? And unlikely ever to be so your point is moot.
