Anecdotally, I rode the Peterborough and Waterloo buses the first week of service. I was surprised by the quick uptake of ridership (it takes weeks, months to build ridership normally) - the bus from Waterloo, the first full day of service, was half full. I was shocked.
I wouldn't be surprised that now, in the new winter term, that ridership on both routes has skyrocketed to the extent that some trips (you aren't going to get even a majority of trips packed with a peak-flow type service), are closed-door full. It takes time for service planning to react.
