Bus vs Plane

On a bus, you're crammed onto an uncushioned seat with very little leg or arm-room and there is no on-board entertainment. On a plane, the seat is cushioned, there is a seat-belt, there is more arm and leg-room than in a bus and there is on-board entertainment.
On a bus, you have to bring your own food and drink. On a long-haul plane, you are served two meals, snacks, alcohol and simple spirits.
On a bus, you'd probably have to buy an extra ticket for the luggage you'd be able to take on a plane. On a plane, there is a luggage allowance.
On a bus, there is no toilet. On a plane, the toilet might smell but it's better than going into the sick-bag.

A bus ticket in Melbourne from the suburbs to the city (return trip) costs roughly $10.00. The round-trip distance is approximately 50 kilometres. There are about 250 working days in a year, so a person will spend $2500 a year on bus fares while travelling 12,500 kilometres. This equates to $0.20 per kilometre.

A plane ticket from Melbourne to London (return trip) costs roughly $2000. The round-trip distance (according to the almighty Google) is approximately 33,800 kilometres. This equates to $0.059 per kilometre.

Bus vs. Plane - you decide.
