These routes are pure social services. In a lot of cases, a city that is offering these routes, with the kind of ridership they would generate, would be better scrapping its transit and issuing taxi vouchers for low-income residents.
Seriously. A bus that passes by once an hour is useless to anyone except those with very limited other options. Those buses are going to carry a handful of passengers at levels of efficiency worse than passenger cars. I don't think Guelph is the type of city that should have service like that, probably anywhere it can justify any service at all.
