No, I don't think it is the result of that "conspiracy." Rather, there exists a romance to railroad travel that just does not exist for bus travel. A railroad train is distinct from a motor vehicle, in its size, its propulsion, and in its accommodations. It provides something special that cannot be had in other forms of overland transportation. In contrast, a bus is viewed as an oversized automobile, something that nearly everyone has in their garage. A bus is almost universally a simple container with plain seats inside. Now conversion buses, used by entertainers and some others, receive many oohs and aahs because they are distinct, and treat their passengers like royalty. But an ordinary bus? There is little fanfare for a boring waiting room on wheels. |
