That is about the limit that people are willing to wait to catch a ride. They might be able to skip the runs at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. and possibly the 9 p.m., 11 p.m., and 1 a.m. runs which would take the wait time up to two hours. So that means that service is provided from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. through 8 p.m., 10 p.m., midnight, and 2 a.m. That boosts the service to 16 trips a day which is frequent enough that people may ditch their vehicles.
