That must be a maximum weight limitation - the longer vehicle (with more seats) will be heavier, and, conversely the shorter vehicle will be lighter allowing more standees.
Hmmm:- maybe it's a licensing limit? as the following shows all lengths max out at 70/71 pax:-

Do buses have 'evacuation' requirements (like aircraft)?
