Everyone seems obsessed with the metro or the tube. You're first thought to get somewhere is which dark, unforgiving tunnel will take you to a station with numerous confusing exits.
The bus however gives you a sense of place, of human contact (the driver doesn't sit in a box hidden from view) and a view unprecedented on the metro.
Would you see the Opera Garnier (see below) from your metro box.
More than that though, in Paris at least, is often quicker.
So for me I sometimes like to take the bus and I'm sure I'm better for it. And thinking about it, I'd like to Thank Mela for helping me appreciate it back in Brussels. You were right!
