You do realise 30 passengers is 3/4 seats full on the old Versa's right? It sounds like it should be a double decker to me. People don't like sitting next to people so once you get to that stage then Decker's should be allocated imo.

I'd be very surprised if the Coast Road services average that there's a lot of buses which carry single digits especially if it's trailing a 306 or 308. Similar to the Consett buses, they could be operated by minibuses at peak times the runs going against the peak flow.
