In fact one such route 271 has been withdrawn from today, in spite of many objections to the withdrawal of the route, passengers who used the 271 through Holloway & Highbury now have to use 2 separate routes, this is one of many proposals, so careful what you whish for.

That the Danger of hop type of fares as. So long as you can get on every bus within the hour.
There is no issue with cutting routes as no one is unable to travel. just like the 163 most of the trips can be made with a single change of bus. How many people are not within 1 mile of a bus route? May not be going the way you want it but there are always options once on a network of routes.
I can think of a number of routes that could be removed. As you feed into tram or train not run along side
