That definitely seems to be the case with the 27, 99 and 289 routes in Cheshire East.

Quote:If service changes make it impossible to get to & from work, people will have to seek alternative transport, e.g. a car. And having got the car, these people will probably also stop using buses for leisure purposes on "non-work" days.

Even those without cars are more likely to choose to go to places accessible by rail for leisure trips over ones only accessible by bus if bus services are cut back to 2 hourly or less frequencies.
