Do you abuse some kind of illegal substance?
Fuel use is well documented in the links I gave you or linked pages thereof. It is substantially, very substantially in favour of buses and even private cars. There can be no rational dispute of this. Here are the figures copied below so that the lazy or plain stupid can read them with the minimum of effort.

I have given you links. If the data is too complex for you to manage that is your problem. For you to doubt the data accuracy is plain silly. There is no possible agenda that would justify your doubt. The plain truth is that it does not agree with your view and therefore you will not accept its validity. Children usually grow out of this at by the time they reach their teens.
