The thing is it would. If there's no driver's then you could up the frequency at busy times and have say 5 of them running, then at quiet times take them off. It's only not possible now as you'd have driver's sitting around doing nothing so it's not really economically viable.

It would make a massive difference to a lot of services, the X66 is another noticeable one where it would work well on (obviously with bigger vehicles) where there's times it could be a minibus, but other times a double decker.

Obviously ignoring the staffing issues mentioned after which I agree with.
