If only us poor passengers were at the forefront of our local operators minds...

I have to say, and only from my personal experience with buses in London, they seem to have it down to a T. Buses turn up when they should do (which is partially for the extensive investment in infrastructure down there), they're very rarely crowded, and they're extremely frequent. I think it also encourages use when there's so much choice of where to go by bus, without being inconvenienced of having to travel to a bus station. Infact - I don't think I've had to travel to any bus station down there aside from Euston... and that was for the train...
