At the risk of repeating myself, I didn't say that that latest change had itself broken links (in that case it "only" reduced capacity). The point is that the accumulation of cuts and changes in the area in the last few years has, overall, broken links and made journeys slower and more difficult. There are times when the local capacity is overloaded and difficult or impossible for vulnerable people to use. What I expect to happen, since you ask, is to have a sufficiently well funded public transport system for everyone to be able to travel easily. If you just naively add up total numbers over a whole day, you can end up with absurd results in extremis like only needing one bus trip per day between a given village and a nearby town - the capacity sums work out, but people can only go to town and can't get back again.
