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.
I thought pensioners were the problem because they use ENCTS and the operators don't get to squeeze enough profit out of that? I'm sure the argument has been made on here that a bus full of conc pass holders is not commercially viable etc etc
