Aye don't disagree from a car point of view, but those people aren't changing to a bus full stop, let's be honest. 

There's literally no reason why anyone would swap really; parking is free, it's an easy drive and the bus uses the same road anyway, it's much quicker, you can go whenever you want and so on.
