all that's gonna happen is service will get worse, budget cuts will mean there's no way to make up shortfalls, and fewer staff around means more people abusing the system (e.g. defecating on seats, stairs, platforms, attacking other passengers, creating a generally unsafe environment).

I don't expect any of this to be surfaced in the many "experiments" that are now ongoing because of course as we know any inconvenient truths can just be dropped/ignored from the final report as "anomalies" or "non-representative" or "racist".
