Now their goal is purely to reduce service...How could their primary mission be to break even if all bus routes perhaps one or two operate at a loss?

Probably because the goal, like most public agencies these days, is to reduce pension liabilities. If you strengthen a weak service, you have to pay an operator to provide the service. If you can make a nearby route "more efficient," you can cram the weak route's passengers onto it and save money both now and in the future.
