The operators themselves?
I made the point previously that they're happy to paint the vehicles funky colours.
Why not pay for something which actually benefits the customers, on an ongoing basis.
As for 'benefitting the majority of passengers'. Accessible vehicles don't really benefit the majority of passengers. They make it accessible to the minority.
It goes without saying, that it needs to work for all passengers, not just the majority.
Wouldn't that then lead to some operators doing it, and others not? One being more customer-focused, the other less so (just how, using your example, some operators will paint buses more frequently than others)?
I don't think the answer is as simple as you suggest. Alas, here in the North East (until later this year anyway) Stagecoach have still not equipped a single one of their buses with this system (whereas a fair proportion of the Arriva and Go North East fleets are).
