Why should we catch a bus when a taxi is cheaper?

if there is three adults getting the bus from my road into the town center it costs £5.25
its £1.75 each
the taxi costs £3.80

is this why people arent using buses as much?

Answers:
Its to do with socialising. We need to people watch and we cant do that if we are on a 1 to 1 with a taxi driver now can we?
that's not true in the US
We don't all walk around in Three's.?

Wow, here in Los Angeles, CA, you can ride the bus all day, any bus, anywhere, as many as you need, for US$3.00. A taxi from the airport 15 miles to Downtown can run you almost US$30.00.ten times that.and you sure can't fit eleven bodies in a taxi to make it less than $3 each!
in the US generally buses are cheaper than taxis. Taking the bus uses fewer vehicles poluting the air and using fuel.
Try getting a taxi in LA. Or a bus that goes even remotely where you want to go. Good luck!
a bus is more environmentally friendly, but i have always found taxi's an expensive option, its your choice,
In the USA the government kicks in about $8.50 for every person who get on the bus. Now you know why we are the worlds greatest debtor nation.
not tru in the U.S..here a bus is normally $1.00..but a cab is $2 the 1st mile and $5 every extra mile..
