From "bad" to "worse". That's not counting the ever-popular "nonexistent".

Like taking money from drivers to pay for them? How about just raising the
fare.

4 miles an hour is a pretty brisk walk, most people walk slower.
Personally, I don't like to walk 15 minutes in rain, sleet, snow, ice,
or 90+ degree heat. Nor do I like to do it on a sprained knee or
other minor injury. Yet if I had to depend on the bus, I'd have to.

Unfortunately, waiting for the bus will bring that blood pressure right
back up.
