The master plan is that they lose money for every bus passenger they carry, so if they carry fewer passengers and adjust service accordingly they will lose less money. They care nothing about passenger convenience or travel time. If they eliminate a bus route and those people now have to take three trains instead of one bus and it takes longer for them to do that, they would rather that be the case just so they can save money by not operating the route. They don't see that the purpose of bus routes should be to enhance the connectivity between neighborhoods and that increasing service attracts new ridership. They believe bus ridership is fixed regardless of service provided. |
