People aren't going to pay £7+ return for a food shop when they have a £40 weekly budget and can share a taxi for much less and not have to juggle bags. People aren't going to take a trip out to a bigger town for a nice change when their hourly bus sometimes doesn't show up. People aren't going to take the bus to work when they work shifts and their evening services have been cut. My parents are in the 1.3 million after losing their bus to Hull, so they're not going to catch the bus, either, unless enough other people want to use the dial A bus.
Further in to the article, is a section showing this graph!
Scary stuff.
