Buses, and this might shock you, aren’t as sensitive to waste as other systems. If you need to get from point a to point b and using the bus is faster than, say, walking, then it wasn’t a wasted trip. And if it wasn’t shorter, the person who wasted their time is the one punished for wasting their time.
So, no, vague unlisted studies about other systems isn’t relevant here.
Maybe people would believe you more if you actually posted something that actually backs up your claim rather than repeating the same “the facts are on my side” claim and resorting to ad hominems 🤷

It’s directly relevant and buses are just as susceptible to waste and scarcity of capacity as any other system.
Sorry reality doesn’t agree with your internally constructed and parasocially reinforced narrative.

Reality doesn’t agree with your assertion that £5 is a nominal fee for a bus ride.
