Right, but my point was that you ONLY have to have 3 people on the bus before it's using less fuel then an SUV and 6 people before it's less fuel then any new non hybrid car that is on the market, 9 people and it's better then any new hybrid car on the market!
On top of that is the reduced number of parking spaces needed allowing for buildings to be closer together or more green space.
