I would like to see this in our area.
They can continue to run the larger buses on the current schedule where the buses go about every 60 minutes during their designated "off peak" times, but I'd like to see a smaller bus going in between.
For example, the other night, we ended up taking a taxi home from an evening event because we had two choices ...
1) Wait 20 minutes for the bus, then be on that bus for 45 minutes.
2) Take the taxi and be home in about 15 minutes.
We took the taxi and were unlocking our door before the bus would have been pulling up to the stop in the city.
But if there were smaller, more frequent buses, we would have probably gone that route because it would have been less expensive.
