But who pays for the bigger buses and the fuel and it not as eco. Deckers move air and air don`t pay fares. if you was planning to hire a bus or coach for a event would you pick the right bus that means every seat is full or pay for a bus that 50% is not used and that without counting standing.

No one should be traveling currently and even when schools are back they can drupe a bus that can be filled as they dont need to social distance school services.

I have never seen a 171 standing only.

It like when I used to get the 168 they used to be standing only when they used the Dennis Dominos.
But there was no hint of cutting that route as it had the right bus for the job
often routes get lost when they try run big buses on small routes as they look unused but use a small bus and the service looks used.
