Part of me wonders if the under-investment in the less popular routes, leads to that downward spiral/lack of passengers/demand we keep seeing and if there was a switch in mindset (ie investment in those less popular routes in an effort to grow it), it may reverse that cycle.
100% this. If the electric buses are much much much cheaper to run why not stick them on routes like the 28/28b/29 and other when the savings on fuel would offset the loses made buy the diesel buses and i'm sure if people in kibblesworth, ouston etc saw them, received a leaflet drop about them or had all 8 of them parked in the SoHo tavern car park this would increase patronage 10 fold!
