The data does not bear this out, those people end up driving, except for a handful of teenagers and old people. You are just describing the empty buses of KW two decades back.

I'm not against cuts if the money isn't there. I'm against cuts like those proposed which end up losing more money per passenger. Concentrate on the main routes, make the service frequent and let people bike to the stops during the summer. Forget about suburban buses meandering through subdivisions. Those are low ridership to begin with and even more so in the Summer.
