I guess the question is what is an underused bus route. Routes with poor frequency tend to be underused. Chiarelli's statements about cutting frequency in a system that has already been decimated by frequency reductions is about as pro-car a move as you can get. Sure it might help with reliability, but it will lengthen transit trips dramatically and drive anyone with a choice off of transit.
