Drive times are usually cut in half of the bus rides. Some of the buses make multipule stops. Thats not where you save the big time. The time you save is in the waiting and packed on the buses like sardenes. It's not so bad at the beginning of the day but at the end of the day you and the kids will want to sit down the odds of that are slim to none if you take the bus and sometimes after closing you have to catch the 3rd or 4th bud. Car for me all the time.
