Chicago has a great bus system as well (as I'm sure NYC does). I'm guessing LA is 2 or 3 there.
But isn't bus ridership declining?

Metropolitan Transportation Authority buses, which carry most of the county’s bus riders, have lost nearly 95 million trips over a decade, according to federal data. The 25% drop is the steepest among the busiest transit systems in the United States and accounted for the majority of California’s transit ridership decline.
