That's mostly a chicken-egg problem, if more people rode the bus there would be way more frequent stops and more nearby ones.

Make riding safe and clean too. No more junkies smoking fentanyl and stabbing people or screaming obscenities.

It wouldn’t matter how many people ride the bus in my town. They lose money as it is, and adding more service would widen the losses.

Similar chicken-egg problem there too, if such events drive people off, there becomes an even higher concentration of such encounters which drives more people off.

It's always full and losing lots of money? Still may not be a true loss overall if it is just subsidized for the positive externalities on congestion etc.
