Express bus (or train) to me means that it skips a bunch of local stops on it's way to the major destination.
Beyond that, if people have to drive to a bus stop, only to sit in traffic on the bus, they're not going to take it unless the cost of parking is prohibitively expensive and/or non-existent.
It's Port St. Lucie not Joe and lying between Melbourne and West Palm on the east coast it's by no means sparsely populated - and with the exception of the West Palm/Miami Corridor and Tampa I haven't seen an "urban" area in Florida.

 LIST OF MELBOURNE BUS ROUTES FACTS AND INFORMATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Unlike Melbourne's train and tram networks, which are operated by one company each, Melbourne's bus network is operated by many, often local, companies.
All but three of these companies are fully funded subcontractors to the State Government (the exceptions being Skybus, National and Melbourne Bus Link, which derive varying proportions of their income from the fare revenue collected on board).
The average Melbourne bus route operates every 30-40 minutes, stops at 6.40pm weekdays (although some buses, such as route 567, operate until 9:40pm), usually operate Saturday mornings and afternoons, almost certainly does not run Sundays, and are often timetabled to leave just before potentially connecting services arrive (but this seems to be getting fixed).

 Say a prayer before getting on the bus... - 2Bangkok.com Forum
Hence it is not surprising that bus commuters always cry foul at the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority, the state enterprise under the Transport Ministry which runs the service and at the same time grants private firms concessions on some routes.
The blunt fact seems to be that there is an attitude within the bus comp.s and authorities responsible that thais lives are expendable (unless of course your important or rich) when it comes to bus safety.
Pictures of a mangled car, pick-up or bus, the lifeless bodies wrapped in white cloth and pain and agony registered on the faces of relatives and other loved ones are all too familiar.
