That may well be true when both are full. But private cars used for
commuting pretty well never are. Mostly driver only. Buses may be full in
rush hour, but can run near empty outside it. Although it would be rare
to find a bus using up more road space per passenger than a car even
outside rush hour.


The average car occupancy in 2011 was 1.6 people, although only 1.2 on
commuting trips. The average bus occupancy was 9.1 outside London and
19.3 in London.

Now give the bus figure for rush hour, since you've mentioned it
(commuting) for cars.
