I seem to recall mentioning a few months ago that the B9 isn't built for such a demanding service as the X10, to which most people disagreed and said that seeing 2 B9s VOR daily isn't that bad and it is to be expected with monthly inspections of the vehicles etc. Has anyone had a change of heart, now that only one B9 was out on X10s today?
If I was running the company, I'd be asking serious questions at why buses less than a year old are becoming unreliable already. They should never be off the road unless its planned downtime. Oh and before anyone mentions the amount of miles they do - it's a bus. It should be designed to cope with that. You wouldn't buy a brand new house and expect it to start falling apart after a year.
