Because people will take a taxi or self driving car instead.

You're making a comparison here that's based on having no other choice.

There is obviously a difference between a 5 min journey down the road and a 30+ minute commute.

Will they? When I drive I have to worry about parking and, you know, driving. If I take a taxi or ride share I'm paying on the order of 6x what the bus costs.

I think you're overstating the annoyance of standing on a bus.
