And in many cases they're right. In fact, they don't have to know how to 
drive /at all/ if they take the bus - as long as they don't mind the 
journey taking a bit longer than it would by car.

Also, the bus may be cheaper than a car if one doesn't travel very 
often, and it means the roads are less cluttered with cars, making the 
journey more pleasant for those who do know how to drive cars.

A fine analogy, in fact --- but beware! Most buses don't supply seat-belts.
