depends on the implementation.
moving some rush hour services form every 15 minutes to every 30 might not make too much difference.
as a transit rider, going from perhaps every 30 minutes to once per hour on a residential route is pretty huge. especially in the winter, and moreso when you might have to transfer.
but you're right in that it seems like a lot, but not if I consider the total number of hours is in the millions. it probably isn't going to hurt people as much as might be feared.
