Luas overcrowding

Red Alert · 08-06-2006, 20:35

The stated capacity can change I've noticed on the buses:

RH: 47 up / 27 down / 20 Standing
RA: 47 up / 27 down / 13,11,9 Standing
RV: 47 up / 27 down / 9 Standing

all of these are substantially the same bus, with identical bodywork (only things such as lights, PA speaker locations, window trims and door handles differ).

Obviously someone in DB was made change the idiotic 20 that were allowed standing - could this be done on the LUAS (and enforced, with sufficient following trams to avoid irate passangers).

With the BAC buses you can see that the permitted standing loads are getting lower as the buses are getting newer. Mr smart would probably have the reason for it.
