Sure there was something said about the E200's driving growth on the 97 too. Something about branding and titivations being enough to make passengers switch to the bus.
I don't know. Can't keep up anymore.
The bus you get does matter. If u shove a freezing OmniDekka on a route that will just have people who need to get the bus where as if u have a nice looking, warm, USB'd, tabled bus it might attract more people.
