Depends on city. Me driving from outer metro to Vancouver is 1:30 due to traffic. Taking the bus is 2 hours because of walking time where bus route doesn't fully service area. Would probably be equal with full service.

For me, that's a small enough difference that I'd be fine with taking the bus even if it's a longer commute time, because I can zone out/nap/read/whatever on the bus, but not if I'm driving

Yeah, I prefer it too. Read, catchup on email, enjoy the scenery
