Decent analogy. It lacks only one thing: there is a phase where, because busses are so plentiful, people travel more. That's the blowoff phase where we build more busses, only to find out that we had too many long before the *abberation* of needlessly frequent travel.

You didn't take the bus to work today, by any chance, did you?<VBG>

Actually, very good analogy. The other problem is that all the extra buses running around lead to unnecessary fuel consumption (inflation), air pollution (bad loans) and accidents (bank failures).
