In many cases people don't have a choice - from A to B train is the only viable option, while from A to C bus is the only viable option, while the bus usually being the cheaper option stopped being a valid statement a few years ago (except in London.)

In areas like Altrincham, Hyde, Flixton, Marple, New Mills etc. where multiple stations serve the same town the only people who need road transport to get to the station are either disabled or lazy.
