The average passenger, heck, even people on here, can't tell the difference between a B5 and a StreetDeck, so they could operate both on the same route with ease.

And tbh the current state of the X21 in vehicles allocations are less than desirable.
Furthermore, 6377 can make up the PVR of the X21 which is 14x (6364-76 + 6377) with 6331-33 moving to Washington as spares for the 50/X1.
