Surely most people wanting a quick route would be using Palmersville / Benton / Longbenton Metro stations. I can't imagine many people picking you mainly because of the cost side not to mention they've got the 62/63 (whichever one it is) aswell. I haven't checked real timings but wouldn't be surprised if the 62/63 are quicker aswell since Matthew Bank is a car park at rush hour as an understatement.
The fact it's dropped from Every 15 minutes to every 30 minutes in the past 5 years isn't a sign of a very healthy bus route.
