I am not looking forward to the introduction of "state of the art" vehicles on these three routes as the price will probably increase to reflect it. No one expects alot from a bus its just a way to get from A to B so First are shooting themselves in the foot by spending out money on even newer vehicles, because people will find other ways to travel if the prices go up much more.
