That is why when I can get a lift in peak times as I don't really want people who I don't know sitting next to me and I have a feeling that will be for most.
Its the lack of passengers that results in cuts. I would imagine that it is a lot cheaper to run a smaller bus than a larger one.
if running a smaller bus saves enough money to make the journey financially worth while surely that needs to be done.
If you don’t want to sit next to someone you don’t know there are alternatives. Unfortunately most of those are more expensive or require more effort than catching a bus.
