Bus and rail networks often stop short of the settlements that most need them, leaving expensive private options as the only route to work.
Transport cost is a direct deduction from the wage of the lowest-paid workers, every day.
Map actual route coverage against population at settlement level, publish the gaps, and use that map to argue for specific route extensions.
Volunteer route surveys combined with published population data, resulting in named, specific route proposals rather than general demands.
Risk
Route economics may make some extensions genuinely unviable.
Mitigation
Publish ridership estimates with proposals. Do not demand routes we cannot show demand for.
