I'm lad to believe to replace the green flooring in the Omnicities, it would have cost more than the whole refurb, just to do it. The problem is, the covering goes all the way up to the roof at the back of the bus, and up to the windscreens and windows and all over the drivers cab at the front. To replace it, all the seat frames and windows would have to come out and I don't think that would have been cost effective for 10 year old buses with nearly 1,000,000km on the clock. Admittedly the black covering on the CX05 reg ones is way better, but you can't have everything!
If that's the case, then no, not cost effective, but they shouldn't have been increased to MAX spec. Brand consistency is important, and these examples just look like a half arsed attempt.
