e.g. Buses are hardly energy efficient because they use petrol. They are also very noisy and stressful especially when there is a lot of traffic on the roads. In addition they pollute the environment because they burn a lot of petrol which produces harmful gases. On the other hand they are quite fast, economical and comfortable. However, they are hardly reliable because they don’t come regularly and you often have to wait a long time for one.
