Do buses only run on major roads then? Not any particularly local services?
The routes are going to be on "major" roads in order to get from Point A to Point B as quickly as possible, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who use the bus for local routes. Like most U.S. cities which don't suffer from a lack of parking (New York, San Francisco, etc.), only the lower class ride the bus. Everyone else drives if they can afford a car and value their time.
The nearest bus stop is at a hospital 5 miles from my house. If I were to make the 10-minute drive, I'd have to switch buses 2 times and take a meandering route that would get me to the vicinity of my office in a little under 2 hours. I can make the same 12-mile drive in 15 minutes.

Illegals?
Not necessarily. White guys like myself are in the minority here in San Antonio, but most of our Hispanic brethren are here legally.
