Is there any difference in sense between:
"Which do you use more often, bus or train?"
"Which do you use the most often, bus or train?"
Thanks.
"Which do you use more often, bus or train?"
"Which do you use the most often, bus or train?"
Thanks.
And I guess the article can be left out, right?
Which do you use most often?

In practice, the second is commonly used in the first sense, and most people neither notice nor care. Even so, if you are comparing only the two named things then I recommend the first version as superior.
Compare the following:
1) If you go on to the national lottery website, it will tell you the most frequently drawn numbers. 2) What lottery numbers come up most often?, Notice "the" is missing in the latter sentence.
