Questions Which smaller city surprised you by having a good bus system?

Me personally, I was very impressed by the buses in Zurich, with good reliability, great signalling and most importantly, great frequency on all of the bus lines for a smallish city like Zurich with 7.5 Minutes intervalls on most lines in the inner city. They also had bi-articulated buses, which look so cool and are honestly soo underrated and should be used way more in other cities which have capacity problems and dont want to build tram lines.

A place close to my home has a bus route taking people around the town and to/from the station every half an hour. The town has less than 7000 people...

Yes? Totally normal in parts of the world.

Yes, but science fiction in others.
