>>1887175A PT bus is going to cost about 300k €.
Idk but let's say 100k in maintenance.
I'm not gonna count off-service storage because car parking prices clearly imply that land occupied by vehicles is worthless.
Let's say it does a measly 30 km/h overall average.
Let's say the bus driver is paid 20 € per hour grossly.
It's going to cover 500k km minimum, at which point it warrants a costly engine rebuild.
That's 17000 man-hours worth 340k €.
Let's say 20 € you don't actually care and are just 140k € seething so you're not reading this.
Let's say fuel consumption is 25 l per 100 km.
That's 125 k liters of fuel, tax-deduced, so let's round that to 1 million € in fuel.
That's 1.74 million € total for 500k km of bus with conservative estimates.
Let's say the bus has ONLY 10 passengers on board on average over those 500k km.
That's 5 million passenger-kilometers for around 2 million €.
That's 40 euro cents per passenger per kilometer, that's cheaper in total vehicle costs than a car in Europe and we're not even counting the opportunity cost of land and infrastructure costs that would've been necessary for 5 million passenger-kilometers by car or other means.
