''If there is a bus route that just doesn’t make sense and you have to take that out of service, the critics would argue that’s a service cut, but normal people would say it’s losing a ton of money… we’re better off to put an extra bus on Finch Avenue where people are crammed,†said Mr. Del Grande.

I think normal people would say that's a service cut, actually. And what would normal people say about junking every other transit expansion plan for a subway that will indeed, lose a ton of money?
Maybe to save on electricity, since no one is supposed to be out after 2 AM in the morning, we should turn off all the overhead street lights? Why should the street lights be on if I am home in bed?
Same reason for buses late at night, someone or anyone may still be out. If we cut bus service, might as well cut street lights as well for the same reason.
