I'm well aware of that, and that is why I said the public transport network needs to be subsidised. The trouble is, Austerity has pretty much put any chances of this kind of subsidy happening out of the window. Even Labour have never funded transport properly, preferring to put the money in the hands of companies, who have shareholders, than put it into services.
