How do you provide a bus service for that? You can't unless you value placing large quantities of money in the bin and setting it alight.
Repeat ad infinitum.
Which one is it?
The bus network that adapts routes to suit the population or a bus network that stagnates and sees more cuts than a hair dressers on Chester front street?
