BRS's pubic transport connectivity, although lacking a rail connection, has more than that. This is the normal programme in non-pandemic times.

A1 Flyer liveried double-decker service to Bristol's main railway station and bus station operates 24/7 at a frequency of every few minutes for much of the time.

There is also an A2 liveried double-decker service that operates to a different part of the city centre by a different route mainly every 30 minutes, this one almost 24 hours per day.

An A3 Flyer liveried single-decker operates hourly to Weston-super-Mare from early until late (this one roughly equates with the 0500 to 2300 period mentioned).

An A4 liveried double-decker service to Bath that operates every 30 minutes for most of the time, this one also almost 24 hours per day.

An A5 village bus, small single decker linking neighbouring villages.

Stagecoach's South West Falcon, a large liveried coach service to Taunton, Exeter and Plymouth with 19 return journeys every 24 hour period.

National Express to Newport and Cardiff with 10 return journeys every 24 hours.

So BOH would need a lot more than a shuttle bus operating 0500 to 2300 to the main railway station if it wanted to replicate BRS's public transport connectivity.
