We will continue to take the lead in promoting and championing staff
use of public transport services in line with our Green Commuter Plan.
The number of passengers on airport buses doubled between 1995
and 2001. Now, around 10% of staff use the bus to come to work. As
the bus network is principally focused at staff, it is important that we
have a network of services that fit in with our 24 hour operation. We
will continue to provide financial support as part of our partnerships
with bus operators and will seek more services, new vehicles and
improvements to the bus network.
Taken from MA's strategy to 2030

I guess things change...mind you the same document predicts 38 million passengers by 2015.
