I agree that personal muscle cars are a "go fuck yourself" to the climate, but look at that bus. It doesn't look fast because it has no reason to be aerodynamic. That thing is either stopped or going like 30 mph a majority of the time. If driving takes you 15 minutes but taking the bus takes you an hour, those with enough money will trade it to get that time back.

Why does it need to be aerodynamic? You know you don't need a Formula 1 shaped car to go faster than 30mph right?

Also the bus pictured is a London city bus. They can't go faster anyways because of all the traffic in London. There's busses designed to go on the highway at least like 60 mph.

That's why the example 15min vs an hour is not working, because both are stuck in traffic

It's also the reason why dedicated bus-only lanes are so based. They let the car owners wait in the stupid traffic jam lineup with all the other car owners while the bus chads all fly past them in the bus lane 😎
