Coaches are a lot more expensive, and if operators cannot buy suitable buses - they will be forced, in time, to buy coaches instead. Handy for those manufacturers who build both buses and coaches, isn't it?
Yep, but to an extent, car manufacturers have been doing the same for years. It's just unfortunate that this almost always comes down to more expense.
