Well up here in good ol' Manchester. It's rare we're in the extremes of needing to stand/wait around for the public transport.

The Tram [Metrolink] Is undergoing a multi million make over, and the bus replacements are coping rather well I must admit.

Local train services are the only ones that seem to get packed.
Or some peak trains from Manchester To London Euston.

The buses run very efficiently and mostly on time.
Most Journies are every 8-10 mins. With extra services put in between 7-9am and 3-7pm.

Manchester has it sorted...but I believe the Congestion charge is needed up here.
