If these services aren't proving popular - then the question needs to be asked why.
Is the journey time? The frequency? The timetable? Pricing? Socio-economic factors? Something else? 
Once identified, those things need addressing. Just like the owners of the shop should do when they're looking at their business.
I can't see 'keeping it as it is' when it's not working, being too sustainable in the long run.

Having been on the Washington minibuses, the simple reason is they travel between two or three shopping centres and interchanges on indirect routes which serve older populations who don't venture out as much on a night. If they do venture out, they have their pass which does not generate much money in small numbers. Therefore Nexus deem it worthy of support.
