That only works for people who already want to take the bus.

If you like your car and you don't like buses, why would you pay any attention to the buses when choosing where to live?

You don't win people over by saying they need to go out of their way to come over to your side, you win people over by showing how good your alternative is.

Buses are great if you're poor, but otherwise they're very inconvenient everywhere I've ever lived.
