The definition of 'overcrowded' has somewhat changed recently though, before you would say a bus is overcrowded when there's no standing room left, now it's 'overcrowded' when you've hit 50% seated capacity.
That's a pretty big change!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they're at 50% pre-COVID passenger numbers, and they're at 50% capacity on the vehicles, wouldn't that mean they're essentially back to 'normal' and overcrowding could become an issue?
I suppose it depends on how soon we get back to being able to have near enough full capacity back.
