The commuter market is all but gone, the leisure market is booming.
Timetables and mentality still favour the traditional weekday working market over the leisure market
In fairness there's still very much so a commuter market, buses are still much busier in the morning and evening peak.
It's the bit inbetween 10am - 3pm'ish that is the problem since pensioners are scared to use the bus and everyone else is working so there's no / little demand anywhere.
How you fix that without getting the pensioners back on the bus, who knows but there's no point running bus services to bowling alleys and the like during those times.
