I also think we have to realize that many (a majority of?) people are much more intimidated by buses than by trains. For better or worse and legitimate concerns or not.
The thing for me is that a bus is fine if I know the area really well. But I hate being on a bus and not knowing where exactly I'm suppose to get off - especially in a non busy area/time when I might completely miss my stop. I can get on an unfamiliar train in almost any city of the world and figure out where I'm going and get off at the right stop.
