What? You can compare the ratio of busses to cars to determine how many cars the bus removed from the road.

The number of cars removed from the road per bus is not dependent on the number of other cars on the road.

The number of cars removed is dependent on how many people ride in each bus and how many people ride in each car.

blackhaz didn't say it, but is probably thinking there are hundreds of cars per bus. My mental image was a bus with 10-20 people, vs. 500 cars (in that 20 minutes)

The logic still doesn't stand. If it's, say, 20 people, you shouldn't be comparing 1 car to 500 cars, you should be considering 1 bus to 20 cars.
