You think people don't ride buses because they are loud to the people around them? A bus is still going to be there if they ride it or not.

Most of the loudness discomfort I've experienced while riding the bus comes from waiting the bus on the roadside. Traffic in general is ridiculously noisy for pedestrians. Especially at ~50mph the road noise starts to be unbearable. Inside a car it's all so quiet. Reducing traffic speeds would help with this a lot.

And the popular alternative of taking the subway is definitely not an improvement in terms of hearing loss.
