You don’t have to buy an entire bus to use public transport though, just pay for a pass or a couple dollars for the trip. The alternative is buying an expensive personal vehicle that you have to maintain. Cars also take up far more road space than buses do when transporting the same amount of people. Also using public transport does tend to be cheaper than owning a car since you don’t have to pay for the entire vehicle or maintain it like you do a car.
