The changes to fares and the network could make numbers sustainable longer term, reversing the trends seen for decades.
I hate to disagree with you Andreos and this is only from a personal perspective but if i could get to and from work.... about a 3-4 mile journey for say £10 a week i would actually put up with the waiting around, dirty buses, noisy kids and bad weather. Its the fact that if i were to buy singles it would cost me almost £10 per day and if i got a day ticket it would cost me £25 + per week. Especially with the cost of petrol! Obviuosly a direct bus to where i work would make it even more enticing but for me, and a quick poll in my office suggests the current cost of bus travel even when you purchase weekly and 4 weekly tickets puts people off
