As Charlotte Woodworth argues (in a post on LInkedIn) we should see busses not as a back-up for those without cars, rather it would be great to see them presented as the preferred transport (for green & social reasons).
And given that women are more frequent bus users, it would be great to see cheaper & expanded bus provision as a clear gendered social benefit, stressing its positive impact for (especially) key workers getting to work.
A positive case for busses!

The vicious cycle facing London’s buses as new data shows fall in commuters
Londoners are travelling around the capital less than they did before the pandemic, with public transport demand still…

In the 1970s the Traffic Circulation Plan was introduced in the city of Groningen to reduce car traffic in the city center.
The 22 minute video shows that it was met with a lot of resistance, but 50 years later it is the foundation of why people love Groningen.
The plan was radical and »ridiculous«, but it worked.
»Er gaat niets boven Groningen« 🥂

Longest intercity bus journeys taken to date
As a companion to the earlier post on longest intercity railway journeys taken to date, here is a list of the longest intercity bus journeys taken by either charter/tour or commercial bus lines. The old Greyhound advertisement of “leave the driving to us” could not be more true in certain instances, especially overseas. The most scenic of the bus trips are shown in bold.
Peace!

Electromobility: Light e-trucks gain, a trend towards electric buses.
Figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea) for the European commercial vehicle market 2025 show that battery-electric commercial vehicles recorded a slight upward trend in Europe, with buses showing significant growth.

In Barcelona, certain buses run on biomethane produced from human waste.
For five years, researchers at Veolia − the company responsible for water distribution in Barcelona − have been working to recover sewage sludge in order to produce biomethane, a sustainable fuel that emits 80% less CO2 than natural gas.

About that BusBoard Prototype Systems SB4 board -- they're expensive. They're more than $6 each (Canadian) plus shipping from DigiKey. They're $10 each plus shipping from Mouser.
That's a lot for a hobbyist when you're experimenting, especially if you're making mistakes.
I looked around again recently, and couldn't find anything I liked at a reasonable price point.
So what does one do in this situation? Well, if you go Overkill 9000, you design your own prototyping perfboard and have a bunch manufactured for you! When you design your own, you can give it any features you like. So this one has:
18 x 36 (648 holes total)
It's two 18 x 18 sections, though I didn't have them scored for snapping.
A total of 6 horizontal busses in groups of 2, at the top and bottom plus one in the middle.
3 sets of 2 vertical busses within that space between horizontal bus sets, similarly edge - center - edge.
Then each row has a 6-hole pad on each side of the center 2 busses, which are spaced for IC or other standard 0.4" component layout.
Made of proper FR4 fiberglass. Good copper, good soldermask.
Silkscreened row and column IDs on both the front and back, at both the start and end of each row/column (and they match up with the back...).
And silkscreened boxes on the front showing the pad/buss pattern - no more flipping!
They arrived today and ... they're beautiful.
