The Pulsar seat 40
The E400 seat 78
So:
10 Pulsars with 40 seats = 400
5 Pulsars with 40 seats + 5 E400s with 78 seats = 590 (200 and 390)
10 E400s with 78 seats = 780
To go to every 10 minutes, you'd need 14 vehicles to cover the 2 hour 30 minutes round trip. I seriously doubt it will require a frequency increase and capacity increase at the same time.
