You're not wrong. It's also not helped that they look for any excuse to cut service, like they cut service during the '08 crash, took nearly a decade to bring it back to something close to what it was, only for it to get cut back even farther during COVID. There used to be a bus between the train station and the bus station, but that got cut back in '17 for unknown reasons. Heaven forbid they actually help people with their public service.
They say they don't want to expand the lines because nobody rides it, but that's only because their timetables and routes are shit. The first bus goes by my neighborhood at 6:30a and it's always packed to standing with people who start work at 9am. But I guess people being willing to stand on a bus going 50mph is "nobody".
