A lot of the subsidies are only being removed for times when hardly anybody uses them I.e. Evening services where the busses are over 90% empty.
Doesn't help me as a fare paying passenger though does it? I bought a yearly season ticket on the basis that I had a bus home if I went out for the evening or had to work late.
It would be better to move the current hourly service to a 90 minute or 2 hourly service. Even miss out the mid evening service but still run the later services.
I can't believe the 15 minute service during the day is a financial goer and this is where the savings should be made in my opinion.
