If there were less buses on the same routes so the buses had more passengers on them would the fares not come down?

Running a bus that only has a few people on must be very expensive for the bus company which has to reflect in the bus fare.

Maybe passengers would not mind if the bus was every hour in stead of every 1/2 hour if the fare was cheaper.

I was talking with a bus driver last night and even he commented on how expensive the fares were.
