An interesting read.

Yep. People are more likely to catch a bus if there is a bus to catch. I remember the arriva 22 getting a lot busier when they doubled the frequency.

I had the joy of catching the 6, today. It used to be 5 per hour and well used. If one got delayed there was usually another not too far behind. Now it's only 3 per hour and the one I wanted was a no show, meaning a wait of over 20 minutes in total for us. Those 40 minute gaps must be hellish when there's students in town. Why would you bother if you had other options?
