Caught up with friends but buses replacing trains really marred the experience

I got on one of the busses on the way hone and a girl already on there said "look at all the people" in reference to everyone getting off the train. I had to restrain myself a bit explaining how trains are such a great way to move people around and this proves it with how many buses are required for a single train
