Having been to the Canaries lately I observed this about the buses.
They are clean and tidy and also fares are so cheap.
You can go along way for a reasonable cost.
Is it like this in other countries?
How come it's not like this where I live?
Fares are dear and the buses aren't exactly clean and tidy, or is that because people are cleaner and tidier on their buses?
Hmmmm?

Do you use th busses where you are?

I think in a lot of areas the demand is so low as most people have cars. Maybe that's different in the Canaries.

Around they're pretty good. You can get a day pass for £3.60. not always clean on the outside at this time of the year, but that's down to the weather really. But most of the time they're pretty empty.

Well I live in London so plenty of busses and fares are capped.

We have a static on the south coast and the busses are one an hour and cost ££.

Always clean though.
