Prices have increased beyond inflation, whilst the convenience of direct buses has slowed down. 
Whilst agreeing 'something' needs to be done, I do think the operators need to look at their offer and see what they can do to improve things in the interim.
It's pointless LA's spending x amount to improve things, if the inconvenience and expense of travelling on bus still exists.
