See I think we're stuck in a deadlock situation. Many people you speak to who commute by car do so because it convenient, and it saves faffing on. At the same time though, they often complain about the cost of parking in city centres. Operators aren't willing to cross subsidise services or take as many risks of creating new services, and existing services tend to just be altered to accommodate more people. Look at the X1 for example. Changed to serve every stop between Coxhoe and Durham, without a second thought for those travelling long distance on the service.
