Hey guys.  Sounds kind of weird, but, has anyone else noticed the distinct lack of public transport hover buses used in futurama?  Apart from Mother's day, can anyone think of an episode where buses appear?  :D

Well, um, they're referred to in "Leela's Homeworld" and "The Devil's Hands...", so I guess they'd have to be.

They mentioned a bus station in "Put Your Head on My Shoulder" and "Kif gets Knocked Up a Notch," Bender gets on a bus in "Leela's Homeworld," the mugger in "Less than Hero" says he needs money for the bus, and the Robot Devil rides a bus to Planet Express in "Devil's Hands."

He was asking about public transportation!  Don't try to confuse him!

I would think that the transport tubes would have most of them phazed out as a form of public transportation.

Don't forget the green bus that we see fly by Fry when he's first walking down the streets of NNY in SP3K.
And the Hollywood tour bus in "That's Lobstertainment!"

The first thing I thought of was in Leela's Homeworld when Bender says 'I'm gettin' on the bus' when Leela pulls the grid back over the sewer.

But I never thought of other refrences, I'm surprised by how many refrences there actually are  :)

The world is obviously etremely populated in the year 3000, so I think you would need several kinds of transportation. Besides, the tubes are more for major cities than anything else. Subways seem to have dissapeared, though, aside from Old New York.

Sure, but that was in the What-If machine's simulation of the year 2000. That doesn't count as we know there were buses back then.

We can't forget that there were buses passing Fry when he heads to the location of the freezing tube.  Hey, it's old New York.

There's also the school bus we see fly by in "When Aliens Attack"
