I have yet to see one. Usually you end up driving emptier buses with much more subsidized passengers. It is in fact better to drop some routes altogether and keep the rest going. This has been proven time and time again.

I'd be interested in seeing that data.  I know lots of people that would rather a 1 hour bus on their route than nothing.  And I'd argue that you just pointed out a situation where cutting service when there isn't the expected demand makes sense.  Dropping routes is cutting service too.

I totally agree that the across the board cuts in service that are being reported don't make sense.  Like I said earlier, it should be based on actual ridership.
