Its £1.34 a litre where I am (more or less $10 a gallon) yet public transport usage has more or less remained the same, people have instead opted to just travel less.
Thats partly because bus fare (at least here in the north) has been going up just as fast as petrol prices.
As my current place pays overtime I would need the cost of petrol to go up to 5gbp/litre (~$40/gal) without an increase in the cost of the bus to make catching it worthwhile, factoring in the longer trip times.
Decent wifi and a nicer bus would certainly change my view on the tradeoff though. The sooner they make the top deck a first class, recliner seating, no child zone the better :)
