Are you for real with this? Have you even ever seen a functioning bus line like this before? No. That's not basically it at all.
You have a couple stops in the small town direct from the hub/city to pick up and ferry people to the larger area. From there they can walk/take another bus or other form of transport like a train. It's similar to light rail, but with roads and busses instead of tracks and trains.
It'd be a lot easier for some people to find jobs who can't afford their own car if they could actually get to the city where the jobs are. So every day.
Well, yeah. If you have your own car, then there is no reason to use a bus. The only reason to use a bus is if you don't have a car, like you got multiple DUIs or you just totaled your car, but even then you would probably just get a taxi or uber.
Nobody was arguing that, though, so it's irrelevant to the conversation.
