To be honest from personal experience, many buses are beautiful but the up keep can be very costly and a pain in the ass some times breaking down on the road. Ok your 300 + miles away from home and your bus decide it want to break down and cost you a few hundred dollars. 2 aggravating things your pocket is a bit empty and your a long way from home. The solution, buy a good running suv and for the most, you'll be ok.

[@BACON-l3t]

Yeah but back then there was no Suv's, and if there was not many people could afford them, so the buses were the way to go, and was reliable i rode them allot and never was stranded on side of the road.
