Three hours by air is about 1500 statute miles. I defy you to find any form of transportation that can cover that amount of distance. You have a real point about that if the trip is under 500 miles though. I recently flew 466 miles in 4 hours door-to-door, and this is with a toddler and checked bags. Everything had to happen perfectly thought for that to happen, but we do it about every 2-3 months.
Flying is expensive, but only if your time is worth nothing. I roughly budget my time at $30 per hour, so a 10 hour bus ride "costs" me $300 of my time (any time you are doing one thing while wanting to do something else). That 10 hour bus ride is about 5 hours door-to-door, or a $150 savings of "wasted" time.
(I base the cost of my time on about 80% of my salary).
