The vast majority of people would choose a Metro over a bus any day of the week. Only people who have a fear of trains for some strange reason or are obsessed with buses wouldn't when it serves the exact same stops. The X24 is unique in it serves Chester Road where there's no Metro service at all.
Reason I use it, as its easy, its a 10 minute walk from mine to the Grindon Mill, plus the £5 Tyne and Wear day ticket is worth it.
