public transit isnt supposed to be a profit center for companies, it is a public service. making sure transit runs to rural areas would allow rural people to get to town without having to drive.
if there was a transit service that was either equal to or faster than driving and inexpensive to use, there would be no point in driving to town.
that town can have a train station for inter-city transit to allow for longer rides for business or pleasure.
imagine not needing a car or plane, and being able to go on a distant vacation : D
Im not talking about profit, im talking about wasting resources that could be spent better. We still need to upgrade schools, hospitals and keep everyone fed.
My daily commute is 20min drive to train station in a nearby town, and then 50min by train. Now if I could get rid of my car, that would be great. But spending 7.5 billion NOK to service 6k people thats madness and cant be sustainable even in fantasy
