all the numbers I've ever seen on the topic suggest that bus transport is one of the most energy-efficient one, and comparable to train - I've seen that it is even less carbon-intensive than train in (nuclear powered) France, so in Germany it should certainly not be dismissed.

Of course, it all depends on how full the trains and buses are, but bus services will typically go to and from the train station and act as useful feeder services for other public tranport.

Re: to be fair (none / 0)

Buses as feeders would be my ideal world; buses as competition for long-distance (or any distance) rail is nonsense while individual transport is there to compete too.
