This seems to be a change in the bus system?

Essentially taking in house, the bus services even around the areas that
have populations is fairly woeful.

And bus companies want to run only the profitably routes as you’d expect!

By bus from my folks place to the local town which is only 6/7 miles away,
but due to having to walk some distance and height to the bus stops, as the
bus can’t cope with the steeper roads, and a bus every 30mins or so which
will loop through the villages to the town.

You’re getting on for 2hrs, which frankly is walkable in that time. Hence
folks who have cars use them, if one is fit as the hills though not huge do
tend to be steep sided bikes aren’t that much behind cars, certainly down
to the local market town its level between car and bike.
