I did not pick up on that, but I think that's what you're suggesting by the いこう rather than いく.
And then volitional+と思っている expresses a plan or hope, right?
So more along the lines of:
"We plan to increase the number of buses as the number of commuters increases in the future."
Right?

There are all kinds of bus services in Japan - private companies, municipally-run services, joint ventures by local governments and private companies, etc.
