We can't even blame this one on the relative lack of infrastructure investment, because busses have never been any better as far as I can tell.
In fact, the only reason the bus fare is as "cheap" as £3 is because of a price cap, which is optional for the bus companies to follow, and has the effect of meaning that they no longer offer return tickets, so you get to choose between the price capped £3 single ticket or a "day saver" £7.
