I've had good luck with Portland, Minneapolis, and right here in the SF Bay Area. There's even GPS-based systems to tell you when the next bus will arrive (and the one after that), which is handy when I'm at the bar deciding whether to order another round. I hope the UK doesn't go the car-centric route we've taken over here...
