Buses price hike.....Is it wise to travel via a buss....???

Hi friends,its no news that government has increased the buses fares.The fares are now almost equivalent to metros,which are far more comfortable.Besides being comfortable they reach there destination far faster.A bus takes about an hour (provided there no traffic jams)from 37 to CP,while a metro takes about 25 min(Traffic doesnt matter here....!!!).If i have to go to shahdara(where a relative of mine lives),it takes me about 1 hr 30 min(note the fact that there is a direct buss from 37 to shahdara),and add to this at the end of journey in a jampacked bus i get completely exshauted.Now if i use a metro il reach in about 45 mins,despite the fact that i have to change at two places)...and though the metro is jampacked the ac make my ride far more smoother.In earlier days the price of ticket from 37 to shahdara was Rs 10 and metro was Rs 18.At that time a miser would consider using a bus but now when the price is same why the hell should anyone go via bus(unless ofcourse hes a die hard fan of delhi busses.....the government should think over it and reduce the price of busses or metro will replace the bus and become even more jampacked.....
