Apples and oranges. You are equating the costs of a $500,000 dollar passenger bus, it's expensive liability insurance, fuel, maintenance and inspection mechanics wages, drivers wages, bus station employees wages, dispatch, administration, buildings, bus depot rent or mortgages, taxes etc that all have to be paid by passenger fares collected in comparison to you driving your personal diesel pick up..no busses don't get 25 miles per gallon.
