A shame you feel that these people and their communities don't deserve a frequent bus service.
What are your thoughts on an in-frequent service?
Do they deserve one of those?
There is clearly never going to be a 15 minute headway daytime, and evening and Sunday, service in these areas - apart from the cost, there simply won't be the demand. It's not a question of feeling or deserving.
One hopes that under Bus Back Better Local Authorities will have to maintain a minimum level of bus service in each town/village etc. based on set criteria - population might be one criteria, access to health facilities might be another, car ownership levels perhaps included.
