Everywhere I've lived non-scheduled bus routes run like every 5-10 mins anyway.
Also, just walk for a bit? Or instead of doing a grocery trip pick some stuff up on the way home every day, one of the advantages of cities is usually, bus or walk, there's a grocery store on your commute home. Like you don't need to isolate every bit of your life.
It's been absolutely insane to watch.
Kind of goes to show they're the result of deep veins of ideology in our society, not just a bunch of weird one offs.
