Hopefully this will allow for an increase in capacity on buses. I imagine the thinking behind introducing it at this point is that come June 15th more people will be using buses, and that it will be increasingly hard to limit deckers to 20 passengers. This should help the government to stop the "avoid public transport unless absolutely necessary" messaging and help bus operators get back on their feet.
