Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to bad mouth the UK, I see good in the vast majority of things in this country, even with public transport such as buses, even if not in my home town (but that's for another discussion).
I fully agree and understand why we could use good ideas from countries like Switzerland, Netherlands and Germany etc to help make public transport better, but judging by the sheer amount I've times I've seen more praise for the way the Swiss or Germans do things with their public transport than praise for the way we do things with our public transport system, would you say that public transport in the UK outside London and Northern Ireland is an example of showing the world how not to run or do things with public transport like buses?
From my personal views, I wouldn't say the whole non-London buses system across the UK is showing the world how not to do it, just certain places such as my home town and certain other parts of Lincolnshire.
