Getting back to the original question... Would it be worth sending a

How frequent are those services, and how many vehicles do they move per
trip? A bus-like service needs to move a busload of people every ten
minutes or whatever.


Rubbish. There are zillions of bus services that operate once an hour,
or even less often. They're mostly outside London.
