The reason I suggested it for Yutongs is because I've heard when GNE updated fleets on their routes, they saw an uptick in passengers. People would get on the 18 because it's an electric.

Interesting, seems odd, passengers would use the route more if it was electric but then, it would make sense but doesn't one of the 18's need to be a decker due to the interworking with a school service.

I wonder if the 99 would also benefit from the Yutongs?


What's the capacity on them again?
