I'd disagree with this. The summer holidays are one of the few major opportunities each year to convince occasional leisure passengers to use the bus more regularly - if they have a pleasant experience on a day out in the summer, I'd say that would make them more likely to give the service another go either as part of their commute or on a weekend, for example. A negative experience on that summer day out, i.e an Omnidekka on the X21 as has been happening recently, or whatever is covering the TVT B9s, isn't going to bring them back.
