Grand River Transit

Ah, yes, the annual shearing of the schedules. Not looking forward to the decreased frequencies and routes, but it's not as though it doesn't make sense to not run empty buses.

Actually it can make sense to run empty buses.  Just because the buses are empty doesn't mean the opportunity of those buses doesn't have value.  Running more frequent buses makes the service more usable to more people...even if some of those buses are empty, there are more people who might be on other buses.

Obviously there's a tipping point, but I think it's important to remember that cutting buses probably has perverse effects.
